Barcelona and Monaco are reportedly nearing another transfer deal this summer. Following the confirmed permanent move of Ansu Fati to the French club for €11 million, attention has now turned to a potential transfer for Barcelona's talented midfielder, Marc Casadó.
According to Spanish media, a deal between the two clubs is almost finalized. The 22-year-old Barcelona midfielder is set to join Monaco for a fee of €18 million, with an additional €5 million in potential bonuses. Furthermore, Barcelona is expected to retain a percentage of any future sale of the player, likely around 20%.
Casadó is a product of the renowned La Masia academy. He initially made a strong impression with the senior squad and even earned a call-up to the Spanish national team. However, a serious injury saw him gradually fall behind other midfielders in the Blaugrana ranks. Last season, he featured in 34 matches, primarily as a substitute.
The prospect of more playing time, a nearly threefold increase in salary, and Monaco's participation in the Conference League have reportedly convinced Casadó to accept the Monegasques' offer.
