TA: Sale of Casado can alleviate Barcelona s finances. West Ham is interested in him but the players don t want to leave the team

TA wrote an article about Barcelona's current selling situation. In addition to the marginal figures of the team, Cassado's sales are eye-catching.

Barcelona is unlikely to sign new players in this transfer window, but three players need to be registered for La Liga - goalkeeper Szczesny, 23-year-old defender Gerald Martin and Swedish striker Badgi.

midfield veteran Romeu and goalkeeper Pena almost certainly leave the team this week, in free transfer and loan respectively. Others that may leave the team include local defender Hector Ford and midfielder Casador.

Casador's case is the most interesting. The 21-year-old Lamacia's youth training player was not widely regarded as a future star at first. But a year ago, he was pushed to the first team due to injuries and changes in club transfer strategy. Cassado performed well, playing in 36 games as the starter, winning La Liga, the Copa del Rey and the Spanish Super Cup. As the season progresses, Casardo's role in the team fades, and he is not the core of Flick's plan, especially the 18-year-old Bernal recovers better and has a higher potential.

's performance last season brought Casardo into the transfer market. The Athletic confirmed that Premier League club West Ham United showed interest, but their preferred target is Southampton's Mattus Fernandez.

According to Catalan media reports, Wolves are also interested in Casador. For Barcelona executives, selling now may make more financial sense, especially the 30 million euro transfer fee mentioned by the Catalan media. This funding will greatly increase the salary cap this season, and if Cassado is on the bench most of the season, his net worth will drop significantly.

Casado himself did not want to leave, and Flick expressed his attitude by letting him start in the middle of the midfield against Levante on Saturday. However, the players performed poorly - Barcelona fell 0-2 in the first half and were replaced at halftime.
