Girona plot bold loan move for Barcelona midfielder

Girona have set their sights on a Barcelona midfielder and are planning an ambitious loan deal to bring him to Montilivi.

The La Liga side is keen to add a technically sound, age‑appropriate central option who can help them compete in a more congested fixture schedule, and the club sees a loan from Barcelona as a low‑risk, high‑reward opportunity.

With Girona known in recent years as a landing spot for players seeking regular minutes, this latest interest represents another attempt to attract a promising figure who might otherwise be pushed down the pecking order at Camp Nou.

The Barcelona midfielder at the centre of Girona’s plans is Marc Casadó, the 22‑year‑old defensive presence whose development has attracted attention across Spain, as reported by Fichajes.

Casadó has shown flashes of his potential when given chances under Hansi Flick, combining defensive discipline with a growing ability on the ball and in transition play.

Girona’s idea is to secure him on loan so he can receive a larger share of minutes, gain experience in a demanding midfield role, and help the club’s own pressing and structure, all while remaining under contract at Barcelona.

For the Catalans, the move would keep Casadó in Spain and within a manageable distance of the first team, without fully committing him to a starting‑eleven role he may not yet occupy.

Girona, for their part, may need to improve their offer or push the narrative that regular La Liga football will be more beneficial for the player than sporadic cup appearances at Camp Nou.

If the deal is finalised, a loan to Girona could give Casadó the platform to prove himself as a reliable top‑flight midfielder, while still leaving the door open for a Barcelona return.

For Girona, landing a young Barcelona product on loan would be a statement of ambition, underlining their status as a competitive La Liga side capable of attracting and developing talent from Spain’s biggest academy.
