After 13 years of absence, Real Racing Club will return to compete in the Spanish First Division during the 2026/2027 season. A well-deserved promotion after finishing the LaLiga Hypermotion season in first place with 79 points. The Santander club wants to strengthen its squad before starting the new season. Its first signing could be a blaugrana player, Racing has started negotiations with FC Barcelona for a loan of Marc Casadó. The culé club would prefer a definitive transfer for around 30 million euros. A delicate season The Spanish midfielder could say goodbye to his club of his life during the next summer. Marc Casadó has gone from being an undisputed starter to playing 24 LaLiga and 6 UEFA Champions League games this season with an average of 39 minutes per game. The Spanish player has lost his position in the rotation of his coach, Hansi Flick. It is true that FC Barcelona has players of prestige like Pablo Gavi, Marc Bernal, Pedri or Frenkie De Jong. If the young Catalan had taken advantage of the different injuries of his teammates to have more playing time, his return would have been responsible for the current situation. This competition in the midfield has also prevented him from returning to the Spanish national team and forming part of the 26 players who will travel to America next June to play the World Cup. Do you stay or go? "As long as there is the possibility of carrying this jersey and this shield, it will be my priority." That's what the midfielder said to the media after a game a while ago. Marc Casadó's desire is clear, he wants to stay at FC Barcelona. The son of the culé club is living a dream by being able to wear the blaugrana jersey since his 13 years and his start in the cantera. However, taking into account the current situation, the Spanish player does not close the doors to a departure this summer if the club decides so. Now that the LaLiga season has ended, a meeting between the agents of the Spanish player and the direction of the Catalan club is planned to decide the future of Casadó. By the way, the blaugrana player ends his contract with the Catalan club in 2028. The player had already gone through a similar situation last summer, finally the German coach had declared during a press conference: "I have spoken with him (Marc Casadó), he does not want to leave and I do not want him to leave." A year after this statement, it seems that the opinion of the blaugrana coach on the young midfielder has changed. Marc Casadó could be one of the players "sacrificed" by Hansi Flick this summer.
