Barcelona could soon lose a key midfielder after a €40 million player began edging closer to a summer exit from Camp Nou.
Faced with ongoing financial registration pressures and a stacked engine room, the club’s hierarchy has made the decision to entertain proposals for one of their most valuable young homegrown products.
A definitive asking price has now been established by Deco and the sporting management, sending a clear signal to interested European and international suitors that a deal can be finalized if their valuation is met.
The player at the center of this looming departure is 22-year-old La Masia graduate Marc Casadó.
According to reports from Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona have slapped a €40 million price tag on the defensive midfielder.
Despite earning his senior debut and first senior cap for Spain following a breakthrough 2024–25 season, intense competition and a surplus of engine-room options under Hansi Flick have seen his minutes drop, prompting manager Flick to approve listening to incoming offers.
Because Marc Casadó is an academy product, any transfer fee generated will register as 100% pure profit on Barcelona’s balance sheet under Financial Fair Play rules, providing critical room to register new signings.
His super-agent, Jorge Mendes, has already been in direct discussions with president Joan Laporta and sporting director Deco to evaluate concrete proposals, with interest brewing across the Premier League as well as the Saudi Pro League.
With Barcelona having already rejected an initial offer that fell short of their expectations, the board remains firm on their €40 million demand.
If a suitor steps up to meet the fee in the coming weeks, the dynamic La Masia graduate could soon be finalizing a high-profile exit to kickstart the next chapter of his career.
