"Barcelona midfielder Marc Casado is being linked with a surprise move to Saudi Arabia in a rather bizarre new report. If Casado does decide it's time to "try a new experience" then it's claimed that "Saudi Arabia" is an option for the 22-year-old. The report goes on to say that Casado wouldn't be interested in a long-term move to the Middle East but could be tempted "by a round trip like the ones Veiga and Laporte, among others, have made.""
"Gabri Veiga raised eyebrows in 2023 when he jetted out to Al-Ahly despite seemingly have his pick of clubs. The midfielder returned last year and signed for Porto. Aymeric Laporte also undertook a similar journey. The defender joined Al-Nassr from Manchester City but has since returned to Europe and is now back at Athletic Club. Saudi clubs have managed to lure many top players to the Middle East on lucrative contracts,"
Marc Casado is linked with a possible move to Saudi Arabia. The 22-year-old is a Barcelona midfielder. He would likely prefer a short-term 'round trip' to the Middle East rather than a permanent transfer. Similar temporary stays include Gabri Veiga, who moved to Al-Ahly in 2023 before returning to sign for Porto, and Aymeric Laporte, who joined Al-Nassr from Manchester City before returning to Athletic Club. Saudi clubs have attracted many top players with lucrative contracts. A permanent switch from Barcelona to the Saudi Pro League would still be a surprising outcome.
