Manchester United is tracking Barcelona defensive midfielder Marc Casadó, adding another name to what’s shaping up to be an active summer transfer window. The 22-year-old Spanish international has fallen out of favor at Camp Nou and wants more playing time.
United might already be playing catch-up. AS Monaco is reportedly in advanced negotiations for Casadó, with a deal valued at around €18 million plus €5 million in performance-related add-ons. That brings the potential total to roughly €25 million, a figure that aligns with what Barcelona is hoping to receive.
Why Casadó wants out of Barcelona
Casadó, born September 14, 2003, has dropped to fifth choice in Barcelona’s midfield pecking order under manager Hansi Flick. For a player who’s already earned caps with the Spanish national team, sitting behind four other options isn’t exactly a career growth strategy.
Barcelona is keen to finalize his departure to help balance their financial books ahead of next season. The club currently has two offers on the table for the midfielder: one from a European club and another from a Saudi Arabian outfit. Neither has been formally accepted as of mid-June 2026, which means the situation remains genuinely open despite Monaco’s head start.
