Neither Barça nor Atleti, Marc Casadó already has a new team: 'If he leaves, he'll go to the...'

The pivot will lose prominence at the club of his life, and one of the giants of Italy wants him no matter what

Marc Casadó is one of the best midfielders to come out of La Masia in recent years, but it seems that he's not being valued. The pivot has delivered outstanding performances and has always defended the Barça jersey with grit and pride. This year, he's had minutes thanks to injuries, but everything suggests that this won't continue to be the case.

Barça are experiencing a great sporting moment and this season they've shown they're capable of beating the continent's biggest teams. In fact, all teams fear the squad from the Catalan capital, something that hadn't happened for years. Unfortunately for Marc Casadó, the high level of competition is forcing him to reconsider his entire future.

Marc Casadó and his role at Barça

Marc Casadó has earned the affection and respect of all Barça fans thanks to his outstanding performances throughout the season. In a world where making a debut as a minor is in fashion, Marc has known how to wait for his moment patiently. He has spent several years with the reserve team and has proven to be a true leader, capable of motivating and guiding his teammates.

At the beginning of last season, Marc Casadó was reconsidering his future at Barça, but Flick's decision changed everything. The German spoke with him and told him that he wanted him on his team. In addition, Marc Bernal's injury allowed Casadó to secure a starting spot without too much competition.

Unfortunately for Marc Casadó, Frenkie de Jong is performing at a high level and Hansi prefers him to defend the lower part of the midfield. Bernal's return is also relevant, as it makes Casadó the third option. There were rumors linking the young academy player with Atlético de Madrid, but another team has moved ahead of the capital's side.

The team Marc Casadó would move to

Making it clear that Marc Casadó doesn't want to leave under any circumstances, there is a team that would be the favorite if he decided to depart. We're talking about Como, Cesc Fàbregas's team, with whom Barça have had a great relationship for some time and where several former Barça players are playing. This could make Casadó's arrival easier, but for now, the pivot wants to fight for minutes and succeed at the club of his life, Barça.
