Barcelona star opening to Saudi Arabia switch

Barcelona star Marc Casadó is giving increasing consideration to a potential summer move to the Middle East. This comes amid serious interest in the Spanish international on the part of Saudi outfit Al-Hilal.

Casadó is of course widely expected to be on the move before the summer is out.

After tumbling down the engine room pecking order in Hansi Flick’s squad this past season, the 22-year-old has accepted the fact that his future now lies away from the Spotify Camp Nou.

Initially, Casadó slammed the door on a potential move to Saudi Arabia, in the face of interest from several SPL clubs.

As alluded to above, however, if the latest word stemming from the media this weekend is anything to go by, then the midfielder could yet be swayed by the riches on offer in Asia…

As per a report from Marca:

‘He isn’t entirely convinced, but in recent days he’s become more receptive to the idea (of joining Al-Hilal).’

Barcelona, for their part, are hopeful of bringing in a fee in the region of €30 million for Casadó.
