Al Hilal intensifies efforts to sign Barcelona midfielder Marc Casado

Summary

Al Hilal is pursuing a transfer for FC Barcelona midfielder Marc Casado, currently valued at €30 million. Casado's playing time diminished last season due to other players' recovery, prompting him and the club to agree that a move is best. Al Hilal has made the most compelling offer, but Casado remains undecided, weighing financial benefits against his sporting development. Other European clubs, including AC Milan, are monitoring the situation, yet Al Hilal pushes strongly for a swift conclusion to the transfer before Barcelona's preseason training starts on July 13.
