Monaco could bolster squad with another Barcelona talent

Barcelona midfielder Marc Casadó is increasingly likely to leave the club, with Monaco now joining the list of suitors for his signature. According to "Mundo Deportivo," agent Jorge Mendes recently visited the Principality to propose his client's name.

Barcelona's transfer market is expected to be highly active. The club has already secured Anthony Gordon and has several other key targets. To realize these plans, the management will need to secure funding beyond what sporting successes can provide, although the club's financial situation is significantly better than in previous transfer windows. A primary source of funds could be players from the current squad who possess market value and could command substantial fees. One of the main candidates to depart Camp Nou is 22-year-old Marc Casadó. The club's academy product is currently the fifth-choice midfielder, and his limited playing time has led him to seriously consider leaving the team for the first time.

Marc Casadó has attracted significant interest from both European clubs and Saudi Arabia. Now, the option of a transfer to Monaco has emerged. The publication reports that his agent, Jorge Mendes, was in the Principality to finalize Ansu Fati's deal, which is expected to become official in the coming days. This transfer will bring Barcelona 11 million euros and free up space in the wage budget. During these negotiations, the midfielder's name was also discussed.

While Casadó's desire is to fight for a place at Barça, he is aware that four other players are ahead of him in the pecking order and is prepared to leave if the situation demands it. He now faces a choice: continue his career at the highest level in Europe or accept an offer from Saudi Arabia. Meanwhile, the Catalan club is pushing for a transfer fee between 20 and 30 million euros – an accessible price for leading European teams.
