Barcelona midfielder Marc Casadó poised for move as Al Hilal leads €30 m offer

Barcelona has agreed to sell 22‑year‑old midfielder Marc Casadó and has tasked agent Jorge Mendes with finding a new club. Saudi Pro League side Al Hilal has put forward the most financially attractive proposal, reportedly around €30 million including bonuses, which would help the Catalan club meet its accounting deadline. Casadó remains hesitant, weighing the lucrative salary against the sporting challenge of leaving Europe.

The club’s recent reintegration of players such as Gavi, Marc Bernal, Pedri and Frenkie de Jong has limited his playing time, prompting the decision to part ways. While AC Milan is monitoring the situation as a possible European destination, Atlético Madrid has lost interest. Barcelona prefers to wait for a higher bid rather than complete the sale before the 30 June deadline, but the window is closing as pre‑season training approaches.

The deal, if concluded, would see Casadó join Al Hilal in Saudi Arabia, marking a significant cash‑in for Barcelona and a potential career shift for the midfielder.
