Barcelona ‘to sell’ Marc Casado if 40 million-euro offer arrives, aiding Rodri move | OneFootball

Barcelona’s pursuit of Manchester City veteran Rodri is tied to Saudi interest in Marc Casado, with a 40 million-euro valuation shaping the plan, according to Goal.com.

The Catalans are said to be close to landing the midfielder, although financial details still need resolving. Al-Ahli and Al-Hilal are competing to sign Casado.

Barcelona want 40 million euros for Casado, and a sale at that price would allow them to complete the Rodri deal swiftly and strengthen the club’s finances.

The Saudi suitors consider that figure excessive, particularly with the Roshn Saudi Pro League moving towards leaner transfer spending.

The fee could yet fall, with Barcelona open to a sale and aiming to secure the best possible return.
