Barcelona Defines Its Position on the Departure of Marc Casado
The website 'Fichajes' confirmed that player Marc Casado, a midfielder for Barcelona, is going through a critical period within the club. Although he is part of coach Hans Flick's plans, the Catalan management considers him to be available for departure and is exploring the possibility of a loan or sale during the winter transfer market in January.
The site noted that Casado, who is 22 years old and grew up in La Masia, has attracted the interest of several European clubs, and Barcelona has set a price of around 30 million euros for his departure. He has also been informed that his participation in the upcoming matches will be limited, allowing him to seek more playing minutes with another team.
'Fichajes' explained that Casado was an important player upon joining the first team, but his role diminished after the arrival of key players and increased competition in midfield. The club sees his departure as an opportunity to alleviate financial pressures and create salary space, while coach Flick remains confident in his abilities. However, the management is prepared to consider offers of 30 million euros or more.
The same source added that the Italian club Napoli has shown clear interest in Casado, although an official offer has not yet been made. January is expected to be a turning point in the player's future, as he will decide between staying at Barcelona or moving to another team, which would give him the opportunity to develop his career and take on a key role, while also helping the club relieve pressure and strengthen the team as needed.
