FC Barcelona has set a valuation between €30 million and €40 million for 22-year-old midfielder Marc Casadó, as clubs from Saudi Arabia intensify their pursuit of the player. Interest from Al-Hilal and other Saudi Pro League teams highlights the demand for the defensive midfielder, who has been with Barcelona since 2016.
Despite the growing interest, Barcelona is holding firm on its asking price, signaling a strategic decision on their squad depth. A sale in this price range would yield pure profit for the club, given that players developed through their famed La Masia academy come at a low cost relative to their market value.
The gap between Barcelona's asking price and AS Monaco's earlier €23 million offer for Casadó is notable, representing a significant markup, estimated to be between 30% and 74%. Other potential suitors, including Manchester United, Chelsea, AC Milan, and Atlético Madrid, may also be monitoring the situation closely as negotiations unfold.
As Barcelona prepares for its upcoming preseason, Casadó remains focused on his future. No formal offers have been accepted yet, but the final sale price will not only impact the player’s career but also provide a benchmark for how the football market values young talent in a rapidly changing financial landscape.
