Saudi Pro League officials are preparing a renewed approach for Barcelona midfielder Marc Casado when the summer transfer window opens, according to sources. The 21-year-old Spanish talent was the subject of interest during the January window, but the player rejected an approach at that time.
However, league representatives believe the promising young midfielder may be more receptive to a move at the conclusion of the current season. No specific clubs have yet been identified as potential destinations, with the interest currently being driven at the league level.
The pursuit of Casado has gained urgency following Al Ahli's failure to secure Gabri Veiga last summer, with the talented midfielder opting to join Porto instead. The Jeddah-based club remains keen to add quality to their midfield ranks and Casado has emerged as a prime target.
An offer in the region of €40 million is reportedly being prepared to tempt Barcelona into a sale. The Catalan giants, who have faced well-documented financial constraints in recent seasons, may be receptive to a significant fee for a player who has featured intermittently for the first team. Whether Casado's stance has softened since January will determine the viability of a summer deal.
