Written by Oluwadamilola Olaleye

Barcelona continue to push to return back to the La Liga 1:1 salary rule so that they can register new arrivals but with their financial struggles, the Catalan giant are a bit far off of making that realistic and as such, they are ready to sell some fringe first team players to make room for this with Marc Casado among the names been mentioned on the clear-out list.

More Details

Atletico Madrid are very well aware of his situation as Diego Simeone continues to explore the opportunity of bringing in a new midfielder following Rodrigo Paul’s Inter Miami switch although, they will have to do battle with other EPL competitors.

Amid intense competition in a congested midfield, Casado has emerged as a potential candidate for departure to help ease the squad imbalance and provide some form of financial aid. However, the La Masia graduate remains fully committed to staying with his sole focus on carving out a successful path at the club where he has developed and matured.

Barcelona have placed a €30 million valuation on Casado, viewing his potential sale as a financial lever that could help them register players like Eric García, Wojciech Szczęsny, and Marcus Rashford with La Liga.

Several Premier League clubs are reportedly monitoring the 21-year-old defensive midfielder, while Atlético Madrid have also expressed strong interest driven in part by Diego Simeone’s admiration for the player.

According to Sport, Casado’s future has sparked debate within the Barça hierarchy, with opinions divided. While offloading him could provide much-needed financial relief, it would also mean parting ways with a homegrown talent capable of anchoring the midfield for years to come.

Despite the stiff competition for places, Casado remains optimistic and views the upcoming season as a fresh opportunity to prove himself under new head coach Hansi Flick.

In May, he reaffirmed his commitment to the club by signing a contract extension that runs until 2030, complete with improved financial terms. The renewal not only signaled Barcelona’s confidence in his long-term potential but also underscored Casado’s unwavering loyalty to the club where he has come of age.
