Monaco Reportedly Enters Race to Sign Barcelona Midfielder Marc Casado

Overview

• Reports say AS Monaco have shown interest in signing Marc Casado and that agent Jorge Mendes traveled to Monaco where Casado’s name was discussed; these accounts are unconfirmed.
• Casado struggled for playing time in the 2025–26 season and is widely expected to consider moves that would give him regular first‑team minutes.
• Casado has publicly downplayed exit speculation and said he hopes to have a long career at Barcelona, signaling he has not declared a desire to leave.
• Ansu Fati is reported to be close to a permanent move to Monaco after a loan, which would create the possibility of the two players reuniting if Casado also moves.
• Barcelona’s strained finances and heavy competition for midfield places make it likely the club would be open to reasonable offers, but any transfer remains evolving and unconfirmed.
