Barcelona midfielder open to offers this summer, valued at €30 million – report | OneFootball

FC Barcelona are already laying out their roadmap for the summer transfer window, with key strategic targets identified to strengthen the squad, while also narrowing down the list of players who are seen as expendable.

After all, the Blaugrana will need a few sales in order to generate revenue as well as create salary space for the new signings.

And, Marc Casado is seen as one such player who will be moving on from the Spotify Camp Nou this summer.

Casado accepts his fate

And, according to journalist Adria Soldevila on Cadena SER (h/t SPORT), Casado is open to listening to offers in the upcoming transfer window.

The 22-year-old La Masia graduate had shut down the doors on an exit last summer and was reluctant to leave during the winter window earlier this year as well.

However, given his current situation, wherein he is barely playing and recognising the fact that there are plenty of midfielders ahead of him in the pecking order, he has accepted his fate and is willing to entertain offers in the summer.

Barcelona, for their part, are unlikely to stand in the way of the homegrown talent’s exit, and value him at around €30 million as per the report.

Casado has been attracting interest from Saudi Arabia for a while now, with reports of a €20 million offer doing the rounds. It would, however, fall short of the Catalans’ valuation of the academy graduate.

AFC Ajax are also understood to be admirers of the midfielder, but see his valuation as out of their reach.

Clubs in the Premier League are also likely to come calling for the youngster, who had already attracted interest from England in the past.

So, as things stand, unless something changes, Casado is expected to leave Barcelona in the summer.
