Barcelona sensation Marc Casadó garnered significant attention from the Saudi Pro League during the summer.
Recent reports from Diario Sport reveal new information about the happenings in Catalonia. Casadó, a talented young player, has been making a name for himself in Barcelona’s first team this season.
Having been given an extended opportunity to play because of an injury crisis in Hansi Flick’s squad, the 21-year-old player has shown a series of impressive performances.
Recently, it was confirmed that both Flick and Barcelona sporting director Deco see Casadó as “untouchable.”
However, a few months ago, Barcelona had the chance to let go of their young midfield prospect.
According to Sport, “During the summer, and very discreetly, some of Saudi Arabia’s top clubs and investment funds visited Barcelona’s offices.”
Wanting to take advantage of Barcelona’s ongoing financial difficulties, one club even made a verbal offer of €8 million.
Ultimately, Barcelona’s board stood firm in their decision—a move that has proven to be the right one.
