Per body: Betis is interested in Casado and can only buy part of the ownership, Barcelona asks for at least 30 million euros

According to each team, Mark Cassado is one of the most popular players in Barcelona this summer. He performed well last season but may face a dilemma of less playing time this season.

Real Betis has been looking for a midfielder with similar characteristics after Johnny Cardoso's transfer to Atletico Madrid, but the deal is almost impossible due to the good relationship between the two clubs, Cassado is neither willing to leave nor Barcelona will sell him for less than €30 million, and Betis simply cannot pay such a high transfer fee.

In recent years, Betis and Barcelona have conducted multiple mutually beneficial transfer operations. These transactions not only strengthen the team's strength, but also help both sides make economic adjustments. The two clubs have been in touch this summer to explore different possibilities, but no agreement has been reached yet.

Betis head coach Manuel Pellegrini made it clear that the club needs a midfielder with similar characteristics to Cardoso or Guido. Although Casador met the requirements, Betis consulted only this option and did not take any further action. For Betis, only partial ownership can be purchased in this case, which seems impossible to Barcelona, although last-minute transfers can help them reach a fiscal balance.

Casado has been unwilling to leave Barcelona, and his team has conveyed this to the club. Although there were Premier League teams and Atletico Madrid who expressed interest in him earlier this summer, Cassado hopes to fight for more opportunities in Barcelona and compete for a starting position.

Frick's attitude was very clear. Casardo did not get a minute of playing time when he played against Mallorca in the first league game. German coaches obviously prefer to use Frankie De Jong, and even Gavey may occupy this position. In addition, Barcelona is also looking forward to Bernal's return, and he will make a comeback in September, which will be an important choice for Frick's midfield. If Bernal recovers well, he could be Barcelona's midfield core for years to come. Casador will stick with the team unless things change in January and he may consider other options.
