Barcelona Football Club is reportedly preparing to discuss a new contract with midfielder Marc Casado. This comes after Casado partnered with Jorge Mendes, a well-known agent in the world of soccer.
Casado had previously agreed to a contract extension with Barcelona, set to keep him with the club until 2030. The discussions for that contract were managed by his previous agent, Jonathan Luque.
During the summer transfer period of 2025, there was a lot of talk about Casado’s future. His performances under manager Hansi Flick had caught the attention of several big clubs, who were interested in signing him.
Despite the potential for higher pay elsewhere, Barcelona wanted to keep Casado. Ultimately, the decision was up to Casado himself.
Flick even spoke with Casado to understand his plans. After their conversation, Casado decided to stay with Barcelona, even though teams from the English Premier League showed strong interest.
Casado’s start to the current season was a bit uneven. However, after an injury to teammate Pedri, Casado stepped up and has played well, proving his value to the team.
Now, with Mendes as his agent, Casado has the support of a powerful figure in European soccer, someone who also has a good relationship with Barcelona.
Sources say that both Casado and Barcelona are planning to begin contract talks again, even though they had already reached an agreement earlier this year.
Casado is said to be dedicated to staying at Barcelona. The upcoming discussions are expected to cover both extending his contract and increasing his salary.
Deco, who is in charge of the club’s sports planning, reportedly feels that Casado’s hard work and progress under Flick’s management make him deserving of better contract terms. The club recognizes his contributions and wants to reward him accordingly. This new contract would reflect his importance to the team and secure his future with Barcelona for years to come.
