According to the Daily Sports News, Barcelona is currently facing difficulties in the transfer issue of Cassado.

Regarding Cassado, Barcelona has received some offers and is willing to sell it, provided that the offer is generous enough and the player himself must be willing to leave, which has not yet happened.

The transfer market at the end of August is always full of surprises, and Barcelona does not rule out any possibility. Although there are difficulties in completing the last signing, there is still news that players may leave the team.

Casado's name has sparked a lot of discussion within Barcelona throughout the summer, and the club would not object if he could be sold at a high price. However, the club will not force anyone to leave, especially Casador.

If the player decides to listen to the offer and thinks he has no chance at Barcelona and is willing to leave, the club will undoubtedly open the door for him. But so far, Barcelona has not felt that Cassado has the intention to leave.

Barcelona clearly knows that Cassado is very popular in the transfer market. Last season, Casardo became a member of the starting lineup and even made the national team, and performed well in the first half of the season. However, De Jong's strong return became Casardo's biggest obstacle. De Jong's hot form made Cassado lose his playing time at the end of last season. Now, Frick has made it clear that De Jong is the undisputed main force, ahead of Casardo.

This marginalization has made many clubs interested in Casardo this summer. Chelsea, Tottenham and Atletico Madrid all expressed their concerns about him. Simeone really likes Cassado's technical ability and performance on the court. Although Cassado has been rejecting these invitations, some clubs are now eager to pay high fees to Barcelona and the players themselves.

West Ham United, Wolves and Bournemouth also keep their attention. In Spain, Betis also asked Casado a few days ago, but the deal became extremely complicated due to the players' valuation issues.

Currently, both Barcelona and Cassado understand these interests, but are still waiting for the development of the situation. Barcelona has set a minimum transfer fee of €30 million, but there is no official offer yet, but there may be changes in the next few days. Barcelona will only consider selling if the player himself agrees, otherwise Cassado will continue to stay in Barcelona and fight for as much playing time as possible.

Casado has realized that it is difficult to get a chance to play in Barcelona this season, and it is difficult to play even in the final stages of the game. He warmed up most of the second half against Mallorca, but ultimately Fric didn't let him play.

Frick explicitly supports De Jong and Pedri, and another midfield position will be held by Fermin or Ormo. Cassado's current situation is indeed very difficult, but he has put in a lot of effort to achieve his dream of playing football in Barcelona. He does not intend to give up easily at present.

In addition, with Bernal's return, the competition in the midfield will be more intense. The club promised to give Bernal a first-team number if possible, and although he had just recovered from a serious injury and needed to adapt gradually, the club believed that Bernal could be the team's midfield core in the next 10 years. Therefore, it is completely unreasonable to rent Bernal out now or in January.
