Two Turkish clubs join race for Barcelona midfielder | OneFootball

The midfielder Marc Casado is one of the players whose folder FC Barcelona have still left to address in the last few days of this summer transfer window. The Spaniard was put on the market right from the start of the window, but his departure has still not materialized.

It is clear that he is not going to be a part of Hansi Flick’s plans for the next season. The German coach also has quite a saturated midfield, with Rodri Hernandez joining Frenkie de Jong, Pedri, Gavi, and Marc Bernal as candidates for the two midfield spots.

Furthermore, he has also not been training with his teammates for the last several days, mainly because the club does not want to take any risks with their players who are close to finalizing moves away in the remaining days of the market.

In such a context, MARCA reports that the defender has several suitors in Europe, and among them are also two teams from Turkey. One of these teams is Besiktas, who were already interested in his signing in June, while the other remains unknown for now.

In addition to these Turkish clubs, two Saudi Arabian clubs, one of them being Al-Hilal are also interested in the midfielder. Similarly, from the Premier League, Sunderland and Nottingham Forest are vying for his signature.

Barcelona are looking to get around €25 million for their midfielder, but any of the interested clubs is unlikely to reach this amount. The La Masia graduate could have fetched the Blaugranes around €30 million only last year, but with the loss of prominence he experienced during the last season, his value has dropped significantly.
