The future of young player Marc Casado with Barcelona appears to be in jeopardy, as his role has clearly diminished in the plans of coach Hansi Flick.

The midfielder is no longer getting enough playing time, and his presence in matches has become extremely limited, reflecting his gradual exclusion from the coaching staff's plans.

During the team's last 12 matches, despite some rotation due to injuries, Casado missed participating in 7 encounters and did not start in the Catalonia derby against Espanyol.

This decline in reliance on him coincided with Gavi's return and increased reliance on Marc Bernal before his injury, even in the absence of Frenkie de Jong.

Although the player is still only 22 years old, his lack of sufficient playing time could hinder his development, especially given the absence of any action from Barcelona's management to renew his contract or improve its terms, even though his current contract runs until 2028.

This situation has prompted the player to make a preliminary decision to leave at the end of the current season, unless there is a radical change in his situation, according to a report by the Catalan newspaper Sport today.

The report indicates that Casado's most likely destination could be the Saudi league, as several clubs have shown interest in signing him, with expectations that the deal could be worth around 20 million euros. On the other hand, there don't seem to be any attractive offers from within Spain, which strengthens the possibility of his departure from La Liga.
