Barcelona academy product Marc Casado and winger Rooney Bardghji, much like Ronald Araujo, will not travel with the first team for the three-team tournament in Udine, fueling speculation about their potential departures. Both players have been excluded from the Catalan squad for tonight's matches against Udinese and Nottingham Forest.
Although Casado appeared at the Joan Gamper sports complex this morning, he left the facility before the team departed. As Spanish media have reported for weeks, Barcelona's intention is to sell the midfielder and secure a significant fee for him. Currently, with no firm offers for a permanent transfer, Casado's future might lie in Saudi Arabia.
Al-Hilal and Al-Ahli have shown interest in the player, and a bidding war for his signature could benefit the Catalan club. Barcelona is aiming for a €40 million sale and believes they can achieve this goal before the transfer window closes.
Bardghji also appears to be a certain departure due to increased competition in the attacking ranks.
