Marc Casado prefers Al Nassr over Al Hilal move
Marc Casado's future at FC Barcelona is uncertain as the midfielder signals a preference for Al Nassr if he moves to Saudi Arabia. He would rather reunite with former teammate Inigo Martinez at Al Nassr than join Al Hilal.
Casado fell down the pecking order under Hansi Flick last season. He now sits behind Pedri, Frenkie de Jong, Marc Bernal, Gavi and Eric Garcia in midfield.
Speculation links a possible transfer to Al Hilal with Joao Cancelo's permanent move to FC Barcelona. Barcelona are expected to demand around €25 million for Casado in a standalone deal. Agent Jorge Mendes has discussed the midfielder with Al Hilal.
Mendes continues to search for a destination as Barcelona aim to complete the exit before the June 30 accounting deadline. The club hopes the sale will provide a financial boost.
