The future of Spanish midfielder Mark Casado with Barcelona remains uncertain, as negotiations with Al Hilal are ongoing without reaching a final agreement regarding his transfer during the current summer transfer window.


According to "Mundo Deportivo", Al Hilal has made an official offer to sign Casado, but Barcelona rejected the first bid that arrived in July, as negotiations continue between the two clubs amid a clear disparity in the valuation of the player.


Barcelona is demanding more than €30 million for the sale of their player, with aspirations to approach €40 million. Meanwhile, Al Hilal is not willing to raise their offer to this level just yet, leaving the deal in limbo.


On a personal level, the Spanish newspaper reported that talks between Al Hilal and Casado have reached an advanced stage, with a positive atmosphere prevailing between the two parties. However, the completion of the transfer remains contingent on aligning the perspectives of both clubs.


Meanwhile, Casado is attracting interest from several clubs in the Italian, German, and English leagues, a prospect the Barcelona academy player views positively. However, no official offers have been made so far.


Despite interest from several European clubs, Al Hilal's offer remains the most serious so far. However, ongoing financial disputes with Barcelona are preventing both parties from reaching a final agreement on the deal.
