FC Barcelona has long denied needing a major sale to keep planning its squad. Over the past few summers, it has managed to get by, but this time everything could change. Many Barça players have attracted the interest of half of Europe after their great season... Deco is ready to cash in if the offer is positive.
Deco requests 50 million
In recent hours, the rumor that places Marc Casadó outside Barça has gained traction. The youth academy product is not untouchable for Hansi Flick and could leave. At this moment, he has a contract until 2028 and a valuation of about 30 million. Despite this, Deco has been clear: according to "Sport," he is asking for 50 "kilos" for his sale.
He won't even consider negotiating for less, something Chelsea knows firsthand, as it is the main party interested in Casadó.
Although he has had a great campaign with Barça's first team, Marc Casadó's future is not guaranteed. He is part of one of the most "overbooked" positions in the culer squad. To make matters worse, Hansi Flick is clear that he wants Bernal to be important next season, now that he has recovered from his serious injury.
He has a release clause of 100 million euros, but the sporting director has been clear: he is available for half that amount. Marc Casadó is one of the most beloved footballers among Barça fans, so this matter is being handled with caution. He won't be forced to leave, and the door will only be open if those 50 "kilos" arrive and he wants to go.
Marc Casadó, in full growth
At 21 years old, Marc Casadó has made the definitive leap to FC Barcelona's first team, establishing himself as a very valid option in midfield under Hansi Flick's guidance. In his first season at the top level, the Catalan midfielder has played 36 official matches, scoring 1 goal and providing 6 assists, showing that he has much to contribute to the club's present and future.
Casadó stands out for his work rate, tactical intelligence, and maturity both on and off the ball. He is a footballer who understands the tempo of the match, always offers a safe passing option, and is key in the high pressing proposed by the German coach. Although his role is not the most eye-catching, his impact on the team's balance is notable.
Trained at La Masia, Casadó has grown in every category until making the final leap. His competitive mentality, leadership skills, and commitment have made him one of the most valued players in the locker room.
With Flick betting on a more solid and physical Barça, Casadó's profile fits perfectly. If he keeps up this progression, he could become a regular name in the blaugrana line-ups for many years. Everything will depend on what happens this summer...
