Marc Casadó joins Jorge Mendes as Barcelona midfielder announces agency change

Barcelona midfielder Marc Casadó has officially changed his representation, signing with Polaris Sports, the agency of Portuguese superagent Jorge Mendes, with a contract running until 2029. Casadó, who was previously with Wasserman, announced the move through an emotive video filmed inside the newly renovated Spotify Camp Nou.

In the video, Casadó is first seen seated alone in the stands, wearing a Barcelona shirt. It then cuts to the youngster as a fan in the streets, singing a chant. Then he walks onto the pitch wearing his current number 17 shirt.

The video highlights his passion for Barcelona with the followiong narration: “Not all dreams come true, but some live inside theirs. Marc is more than a player, he plays with the heart of a lifelong culé.”

The midfielder joins several other Barcelona players represented by Mendes, including Lamine Yamal, Alejandro Balde, Ansu Fati, Guille Fernández, and Adam Qaroual. The 22-year-old will be taking on a larger role than at the start of the season. With Pedri sidelined until after the international break, Casadó is expected to form a part of the midfield alongside Frenkie de Jong.

The announcement comes amid a busy week for Barcelona, who are preparing for their next UEFA Champions League match against Club Brugge. Manager Hansi Flick has emphasized the importance of team stability and rest, noting the challenge of balancing domestic and European competitions.
