Marc Casado set for crunch meeting to decide Barcelona future
A meeting is scheduled between Marc Casadó’s representatives and FC Barcelona after the La Liga season finale against Valencia at Mestalla. Staying at Camp Nou remains a priority, but he is reportedly considering a departure to secure regular playing time. Casadó has fallen behind Pedri, Frenkie de Jong, Gavi, and Marc Bernal in the squad pecking order and may be reluctant to remain a fringe option. He has repeatedly said his priority is wearing the Barcelona shirt and continuing as a blaugrana. He is contracted until 2028, so there is no immediate pressure, though offers from prominent European clubs and possible interest from Saudi Arabia have emerged. Barcelona could sell if he forces a move, and his academy status would make a sale “pure profit,” while the club still needs revenue to fund squad reinforcements.
"Whenever there is a possibility to wear this shirt and this badge, it will be my priority. Casadó told Esport3 in January. And speaking to La Vanguardia, he echoed that sentiment: "my dream has always been to play for Barça and I have achieved it. Now I want it to continue to be this way. I will leave my life in every training session, in every match, and in every situation to continue as a blaugrana.""
"Casadó has fallen behind Pedri, Frenkie de Jong, Gavi, and Marc Bernal in the pecking order, and he may be reluctant to accept another year as a fringe player. Despite this, the midfielder has stated multiple times over the season that he wishes to stay. His public stance is clear, but the rumors persist."
"Casadó is under contract until 2028, meaning there is no immediate pressure from his side to rush into a decision. But offers from prominent European clubs have started to arrive. There have also been rumors of interest from Saudi Arabia. Barcelona reportedly are willing to sell if the midfielder forces a move, but they are not necessarily rushing to let him go, either."
"Estimates place Casadó's market value between 20 and 30 million euros. His sale would represent "pure profit" as he was not bought with a transfer fee, being an academy product. Even though Barcelona may not be in a mad rush to sell players, they still need to generate revenue to fund Hansi Flick's desired reinforce"
