Yeah but when was the last time we were so stacked in positions primarily because of talent coming through La Masia? What you are alluding to is not a hardened rule established by the club, rather a rare occurrence that hardly ever comes about.
I mean they are probably counting on Frenkie leaving.If anybody from midfield atm should be sold (they shouldn't) it's Frenkie. There was big talk from Deco and Laporta that no player will be able to go into the last year of his contract and they are doing exactly that.
They could be played by Frenkie where he talks about renewing and changing agents but it never really happens. He could still plan to get all the wages from us and leave for free in less than a year.
With our shit sporting departement it wouldn't surprise me they sell Casado for peanuts and Frenkie leaves for free next summer. What then?
Frenkie is better than Casado and I don't want anyone sold this summer but he should be on the market before Casado if he doesn't renew asap.
Agreed.Casado is a 2026 sale when you have more conclusivity (not a word, but it should be) on Gavi and Bernal.
Everyone wants to sell Ferran and everyone is brain damagedWould be such a stupid move to sell Casado out of them all.
Better sell Araujo or even Ferran.
Honestly these issue is Barca has signed so many players to renewals that has to affect things.Casado is a 2026 sale when you have more conclusivity (not a word, but it should be) on Gavi and Bernal.
And even then, he is great depth and should really only go if he continues end season form, or requests an exit.
Club priority should be deloading wage bill through Stegs being de-registered or loaned, getting Oriol off the books, selling with buyback Fort (though Erics injury in pre-season brings to light our lightness there again).
Reality is, 12m gift from Mendes for Pau Victor and the DRC sponsorship for 12m season. That's modestly, another 20m in the coffers and still same FFP shit.
Make it make sense to me brothers. Are we the Lehmann Brothers of football or what!?!?

Best scenario for us at the moment if no future signings are considered to upgrade the backline is register Garcia for Stegen injury and keep the squad as is. I'm sure we can find space to register Rashford.
Casado is not a problem we have. He's not a problem player like Stegen or Araujo.
Issue for Casado is that, once De Jong came back from injury, he took his spot with absolute ease.
