Marc Casado has been tipped to go on and become a “future captain” at Barcelona but in the meantime he’ll have to try and force his way back into the starting XI.
The midfielder enjoyed a great season in 2024-25 but injury, and Frenkie de Jong’s return to fitness and form, saw his role reduced in the final weeks and months.
Former La Masia coach Oscar Lopez is in no doubt that he has what it takes to succeed at Barcelona and also thinks he could take over the armband at some point.
