Barcelona ‘to seek’ more than 30 million euros as Al-Hilal talks stall for Marc Casadó | OneFootball

Marc Casadó’s Barcelona future remains unresolved, with Al-Hilal’s pursuit stalled by a valuation gap despite progress on personal terms.

Al-Hilal lodged an offer last July that Barcelona rejected, and the sides have not been close to an agreement since. Mundo Deportivo reports that Barça want more than 30 million euros and hope to push towards 40 million, figures Al-Hilal are unwilling to reach.

Talks with the 22-year-old over a contract are at an advanced stage, and there is a good understanding between the player and the club. Any deal now hinges on the two teams narrowing their price gap.

Interest from Europe is growing, and the Barcelona academy graduate is open to that attention. Clubs in Italy, Germany and the Premier League are monitoring his situation, though none has made a formal bid.

For now, Al-Hilal’s proposal remains the most serious on the table. The financial stand-off keeps the move on ice.
