Transfer-linked Barcelona star now expected to stay | OneFootball

A transfer-linked member of the midfield ranks at La Liga champions Barcelona is now expected to remain through the upcoming transfer deadline.

That’s according to Marca, who point towards Marc Casadó as the player in question.

Youngster Casadó has of course seen his name emerge as an altogether prominent one in the media headlines in Catalunya’s capital over recent weeks.

This comes amid the understanding that, amid mounting interest in his signature from across the continent, the 21-year-old’s future has been thrown somewhat up in the air.

Whilst Casadó remains held in high regard by boss Hansi Flick, the Spanish international could find consistent game time tough to come by this season.

With the possibility on the table of securing a big-money fee for something of a fringe player, Barcelona have in turn been tipped to open the door to a sale ahead of the transfer deadline.

As alluded to above, however, if the latest word stemming from Spain over the last 24 hours is anything to go by, then as much now looks highly unlikely.

As per a report from Marca:

‘It doesn’t seem likely that he will leave in the transfer window after the latest statements from the coach and the player.’
