Talking about Marc Casadó is mentioning one of the most promising young players of the Barça squad. The player from Sant Pere de Vilamajor, after a defining 2024/25 season in the top tier of Spanish football with FC Barcelona, has become a coveted player by several teams, both nationally and internationally.
The midfielder has become an asset for which the culé team has surely been approached more than once. The reason? Despite his great level, the '17' does not start as an undisputed starter in Hansi Flick's XI, who already has a perfectly consolidated double pivot with Pedri González and Frenkie de Jong. A duo that debuted in the first LaLiga 2025/26 match against RCD Mallorca.
Marc Casadó's departure: a complex scenario despite Betis' interest
Given the apparent lack of prominence, several clubs have been interested in Casadó. One of the most recent is Real Betis, which, according to SPORT, seeks to reinforce its midfield after the departure of Johnny Cardoso to Atlético de Madrid this summer.
However, the same source asserts that the operation has low feasibility, based on two key aspects. First, Marc does not seem to contemplate leaving Barcelona this summer, where he has shown his desire to succeed and fight for quality minutes, despite the overbooking in the midfield area.
Second, the Catalan club's position regarding a possible departure of the young midfielder is clear: not to let him leave easily. If a sale is considered, it would not be for less than €30M, an amount that the verdiblancos would hardly reach.
📌OTHER TEAMS THAT HAVE BEEN RUMORED TO SIGN CASADÓ:
- Atlético de Madrid
- Como 1907
- Bayer Leverkusen
Regarding the details of the operation, it is known that both teams have been in contact exploring options, but a formal proposal has not been presented. If Betis decided to add him to their ranks, they could only acquire a percentage of the ownership, as happened previously with Ez Abde. A negotiation that is currently not contemplated in Can Barça.
De Jong, Pedri, Gavi and Bernal: the competition that conditions Marc's future
Now it only remains to wait how the events around the azulgrana youth player unfold. The '17' has demonstrated a remarkable capacity for resilience and willingness to fight for a place in the midfield.
However, the De Jong-Pedri González duo starts as the starter, and Gavi has many options to be the first alternative to oxygenate either of the two pivot positions. In turn, if Marc Bernal recovers his best level, this could further complicate the opportunities to see minutes for Casadó. Will he take on the challenge? Time will tell.
