The Barcelona sensation confirms that he considered leaving the summer

Marc Casado has been one of Barcelona’s most outstanding players this season, although it turns out that he could have left the Catalan club before even starting the campaign, since they did not have him in the first team until the arrival of Hansi Flick.

Casado was promoted from Barça Atletic last summer and has since become one of the most consistent players in Flick’s team. Before this, he admitted on Barça One (via Relevo) that he was thinking about leaving.

“The idea was to look for minutes outside, but with the arrival of Hansi Flick they told me that they had analyzed the videos of Barça Atletic and the reserve team and that they believed that I could be an important piece for the first team. In the end I renewed with the idea of ​​staying.”

This has turned out to be an absolute masterstroke on Flick’s part, as Casado has been a sensation for the last 4 or 5 months. His emergence also means that Barcelona can afford to offload someone like Frenkie de Jong, whose sale would help the club with its current financial problems.
