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.
