Barcelona and Al Hilal negotiate over Marc Casado transfer fee

Barcelona midfielder Marc Casado remains in a precarious situation as the club informs him he will have a limited role this season. Al Hilal has made an offer for the 22-year-old, but Barcelona is firm on its valuation of over €30 million, aiming closer to €40 million. While talks have advanced between Casado and Al Hilal regarding personal terms, a financial agreement between the clubs has not yet been reached, complicating the potential transfer. European clubs are also watching Casado's situation, but none have made formal offers, leaving Al Hilal as the most concrete option for the player.
