Barcelona have reportedly raised their asking price for midfielder Marc Casado and now want €40 million for their academy graduate.
A new report from Mundo Deportivo claims that Barcelona have already rejected one offer for Casado, as it didn’t meet their demands, and are confident they will see their valuation of the midfielder met.
Barcelona seem to have adjusted their demands after seeing prices rise in the current transfer window and amid reported interest from Saudi Arabia.

Al-Hilal have just splashed out €80 million for West Ham winger Crysencio Summerville, while the Premier League have seen some big-money transfers with Morgan Rogers and Elliot Anderson both moving in transfers worth over £117 million.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid are expected to invest heavily in the coming days in Yan Diomande. The latest updates suggest Los Blancos will pay well over €100m for the RB Leipzig after beating PSG to his signature.
Casado is still expected to depart this summer despite Frenkie de Jong’s knee injury. Hansi Flick has told the club to listen to offers as he feels he is well covered in midfield already and also has youngsters Tommy Marques and Brian Farinas available.
