Key Takeaways:
- Last season, Marc Casadó was a regular starter until Frenkie de Jong returned from injury in January

Midfield Competition Intensifies for Casadó
Barcelona is focused on improving its financial health, and squad management remains a pivotal strategy. As speculation about player departures continues, Marc Casadó finds himself in a challenging position with strong competition for midfield roles under Hansi Flick.
Casadó was a key figure in the starting line-up last season until Frenkie de Jong completed his return from injury in January. With the likes of Frenkie de Jong, Pedri, and Gavi currently vying for midfield slots, and Marc Bernal sidelined due to injury, Casadó’s opportunities for consistent first-team football appear limited at present.

Reports from both Sport and Mundo Deportivo confirm that Barcelona’s approach is unequivocal — should Casadó elect to remain, the club will not entertain transfer proposals. Only if the player decides to depart will Barcelona open the door to negotiations.
