Barcelona to Proceed with Casadó Sale Despite De Jong Injury, Confident in Internal Midfield Alternatives
Barcelona's medical report confirms Frenkie de Jong has suffered a medial collateral ligament tear in his right knee, likely requiring surgery and a 5-6 month absence. Despite this setback, the club's sports management plans to proceed with selling midfielder Marc Casadó if a €30 million offer is received, with interest from Premier League and Saudi League clubs. Casadó has acknowledged his limited playing time prospects and will discuss his future with coach Hansi Flick and sporting director Deco, though he has not ruled out staying. Barcelona internally believes it has sufficient alternatives, including promoting defensive midfielder Tommy Marks to a larger first-team role and temporarily delaying Bryan Fariñas' move to Girona to evaluate him during preseason.
