Al-Ahly Eye Barcelona Midfielder Marc Casadó as Top Transfer Target

Egyptian giants Al‑Ahly SC have reportedly identified Marc Casadó as their primary transfer target as the club begins planning for the next season.

The Spanish midfielder, who currently plays for FC Barcelona, has attracted attention for his composure in midfield, tactical awareness, and ability to dictate the tempo of matches. These qualities have reportedly placed him high on Al-Ahly’s shortlist as they aim to strengthen their squad with young and technically gifted players.

Sources close to the situation suggest that the Cairo-based club believes Casadó could add balance and creativity to their midfield if a deal becomes possible. At just 20 years old, the Spanish talent is regarded as one of the promising players emerging from Barcelona’s development system.

However, securing the midfielder may not be straightforward. Barcelona still view Casadó as part of their long-term project, meaning any potential move would likely require significant negotiations or a loan arrangement if Al-Ahly decide to pursue the deal formally.

Al-Ahly have been active in scouting international talent in recent seasons as they continue their ambition to remain dominant in African football and compete strongly in continental competitions. Signing a player from Barcelona would represent a major statement of intent from the record African champions.

For now, Casadó remains focused on his development in Spain, but interest from Al-Ahly shows how highly the young midfielder is rated beyond Europe.
