Bаrсеlоnа аrе actively rеѕhаріng their squad ahead оf thе 2025/2026 season, with fіnаnсіаl rеgulаtіоnѕ fоrсіng thе сlub to mаkе tоugh decisions. In an effort to comply with La Liga’s strict 1:1 spending rule, the Catalan giants are now considering the sale of promising midfielder Marc Casado.
Fоllоwіng thе dераrturе оf Anѕu Fati аnd thе еxресtеd move of Pablo Torre to Mаllоrса, Bаrсеlоnа аrе lооkіng аt аddіtіоnаl ѕаlеѕ tо bаlаnсе thе bооkѕ. Casado has emerged as one of the most valuable assets the club is willing to cash in on — if the right offer comes.
Barcelona Set €50 Million Price Tag on Marc Casado
According to multiple reports from Spain, Barcelona would be willing to part ways with Casado should a bid of around €50 million be submitted. The 20-year-old midfielder, who impressed during the early stages of last season, has seen his playing time reduced, particularly with the return of Marc Bernal from injury.
Barcelona view Casado as a saleable asset with high market value, and although they acknowledge his potential, financial compliance remains the priority. Selling him could provide the club with much-needed breathing space under La Liga’s salary cap restrictions.

Initial contacts have already been made, and if any of these clubs are willing to meet the €50 million valuation, Barcelona are expected to greenlight the transfer.
Why Barcelona Are Willing to Sell
Barcelona’s decision is rooted in necessity. The club’s spending restrictions mean that any new signings must be matched with outgoing transfers of equal value. The sale of Casado, who is currently a fringe player, is seen as a way to facilitate the registration of new players while still complying with league rules.
Though he showed promise last season, Casado’s place in the squad is no longer secure. The emergence of other young midfielders, particularly the now-fit Marc Bernal, has limited Casado’s first-team opportunities.
What Lies Ahead for Casado?
Despite being regarded as one of La Masia’s finest recent graduates, Marc Casado’s future at Barcelona remains uncertain. While the club still values his talent, they are open to letting him go should a suitable offer come along.
For Casado, a move could offer more consistent playing time and a larger role at a new club — something that might not be guaranteed at Camp Nou given the current midfield depth.
If no club is willing to meet the asking price, however, Barcelona are expected to retain him as a squad player for the upcoming season.
