Barcelona to meet with exit-linked midfielder in coming days as doubts over his role continue | OneFootball

According to SPORT, Barcelona will hold talks with Marc Casado in the coming days to clarify his future at the club.

It is known that the midfielder has received serious offers from several teams, but he remains strongly attached to Barça.

Having been with the club since his early years, Casado is convinced that he can compete for a place in the starting XI despite the heavy competition in midfield.

For Casado, leaving Barcelona is not something he takes lightly. His dream has always been to succeed at the club, and he still believes he can make his mark.

However, the reality of the current squad makes things difficult. With stars such as Pedri, Frenkie de Jong, Gavi, and rising talent Marc Bernal ahead of him in the pecking order, his opportunities remain limited.

Manager Hansi Flick appreciates Casado’s professionalism and commitment. Their relationship is strong, and Flick has openly admired his work ethic.

At the same time, Flick is also clear about his preferred options in midfield. Pedri, De Jong, Gavi, and Bernal are key to his tactical plans, meaning Casado finds himself in a tough position when it comes to minutes on the pitch.

Meanwhile, interest in Casado continues to grow. Several Premier League sides, including Wolverhampton, Bournemouth, and West Ham, have made approaches.

In La Liga, Real Betis and Atletico Madrid are monitoring his situation closely. To add to the list, Olympique de Marseille have also entered the race after internal dressing room issues led to Adrien Rabiot being placed on the transfer list.

Barcelona’s meeting with Casado will be crucial in understanding his intentions. While the club values him as a player, they also need clarity before making decisions in the transfer market.
