# Marc Casadó joins Deportivo La Coruña on loan > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/barcelona-midfielder-transfer-saga > Updated: 2026-09-03T20:02:12.000Z. Sources: 44. Developments: 10. As the summer transfer window concludes, Marc Casadó has finalized a move to Deportivo La Coruña. Although Barcelona had previously pushed for a permanent sale to assist with accounting and fund potential signings, the deal was ultimately structured as a season-long loan. Under the terms of the agreement, Barcelona is expected to cover a significant portion of the midfielder’s salary. The loan deal also includes a purchase option reportedly valued at €30 million. This resolution follows a period of uncertainty where Casadó was training separately from the main squad and was linked to various suitors, including Bayer Leverkusen and several Premier League clubs. Recent reports confirm that the move follows a lack of playing time for Casadó under manager Hansi Flick. The finalization of the deal follows a complex negotiation period for the 22-year-old, who had been excluded from Flick’s plans. While interest was expressed by clubs in Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Real Betis, and Elche, negotiations with Bayer Leverkusen reportedly stalled. Barcelona initially set a transfer fee of €40 million before lowering the demand to €20 million, but the move to the German side failed to materialize after the club decided not to sign Robert Andrich. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-03: Marc Casadó joins Deportivo after complex transfer negotiations Marc Casadó has joined Deportivo after a turbulent transfer window involving negotiations with Bayer Leverkusen and interest from several Spanish and international clubs. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/marc-casad-joins-deportivo-after-complex-transfer-negotiations ### 2026-08-31: Barcelona players Marc Casadó and Álvaro Cortés complete transfers FC Barcelona players Marc Casadó and Álvaro Cortés have moved to Deportivo de La Coruña and Royal Antwerp, respectively, as the transfer window closes. 22 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/marc-casad-transfer-prospects-remain-uncertain-amid-deadline-pressure ### 2026-08-23: Marc Casadó linked to Premier League move as Nottingham Forest leads interest Barcelona midfielder Marc Casadó is seeking a move to Europe to ensure regular playing time, with Nottingham Forest leading a race of Premier League clubs for his signature. 5 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/marc-casad-linked-to-premier-league-move-as-nottingham-forest-leads-interest ### 2026-08-16: Nottingham Forest targets Barcelona midfielder Marc Casado Nottingham Forest is reportedly looking to resume talks with Barcelona to sign midfielder Marc Casado for an estimated €30 million. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/nottingham-forest-eyes-barcelona-midfielder-marc-casado ### 2026-08-14: FC Barcelona seeks to sell Marc Casadó for up to 40 million euros FC Barcelona aims to sell midfielder Marc Casadó for up to 40 million euros to fund new signings, with interest coming from both European clubs and Saudi Arabian sides like Al-Hilal. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/fc-barcelona-seeks-to-sell-marc-casad-for-up-to-40-million-euros ### 2026-07-28: FC Barcelona open to €40 million sale of midfielder Marc Casado Barcelona is open to selling midfielder Marc Casado for about €40 million and is eyeing left‑back Jorge Salinas, but will not pay more than €6 million for the youngster. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/fc-barcelona-open-to-40-million-sale-of-midfielder-marc-casado ### 2026-07-06: Marc Casado says he’ll fight for Barcelona place as Rennes interest grows Barcelona midfielder Marc Casado, linked with Stade Rennais, says he’ll stay and fight for his place after talks with coach Hansi Flick. 5 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/stade-rennais-pursues-barcelona-midfielder-marc-casad ### 2026-07-04: Barcelona midfielder Marc Casadó poised for move as Al Hilal leads €30 m offer Barcelona aims to sell midfielder Marc Casadó, with Saudi club Al Hilal offering about €30 million; the player is weighing the financial gain against a move away from European competition. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/barcelona-midfielder-marc-casad-poised-for-move-as-al-hilal-leads-30-m-offer ### 2026-06-30: Marc Casadó linked to AC Milan, Besiktas and Saudi clubs as Barcelona seeks sale Barcelona aims to sell midfielder Marc Casadó (valued €20‑30 m) with AC Milan, Beşiktaş and Saudi clubs as possible destinations before the July 13 pre‑season. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/marc-casad-linked-to-ac-milan-besiktas-and-saudi-clubs-as-barcelona-seeks-sale ### 2026-06-12: Barcelona midfielder Marc Casado linked with Saudi move as club seeks €25 million fee Barcelona’s Marc Casado, a regular midfield option, is set for a summer sale with a €25 million price tag; a Saudi move to Al Nassr or Al Hilal is being negotiated, preferring Al Nassr to reunite with Íñigo Már 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/barcelona-midfielder-marc-casado-linked-with-saudi-move-as-club-seeks-25-million-fee --- Cite as: Marc Casadó joins Deportivo La Coruña on loan.
