Al-Hilal, Barcelona and Marc Casado
Friday
Al-Hilal’s pursuit of Barcelona midfielder Marc Casado remains stalled because the clubs are far apart on valuation. Barcelona want more than €30m and hope for close to €40m, while the Saudi club is unwilling to meet that price.
Personal negotiations are much further advanced, with Casado and Al-Hilal understood to have a good understanding over terms. Barcelona previously rejected an offer, leaving the transfer dependent on whether the clubs can narrow their financial gap before the window closes.
