"The ongoing campaign has been a difficult one for Marc Casado at Barcelona. Having made his proper first-team breakthrough last season, the midfielder has fallen down the pecking order under Hansi Flick this time around. Competition for places is intense in the Blaugrana midfield, with Pedri, Frenkie de Jong, Gavi, Marc Bernal, and even Dani Olmo seemingly ahead of the 22-year-old La Masia graduate."
"However, according to SPORT, Barcelona's intention is to renew Casado's contract before the end of the ongoing campaign. While this is the roadmap laid out, there is no urgency to reach an immediate agreement, with his current contract running until the summer of 2028. The length of the new deal and the financial terms still need to be defined, but initial contacts between both parties have already taken place. Negotiations are expected to intensify in the coming weeks."
"During the winter window, Atletico Madrid made an approach to sign him, but the player's response was consistent with what he had expressed months earlier. His focus remains on Barça. Casado's attitude has not changed despite his lack of minutes. His commitment and professionalism in training continue to be appreciated within the club. He remains patient and composed, knowing the competition in his position."
