The midfielder, while highly regarded inside La Masia, is no first-choice for Barca coach Hansi Flick.
AS says given his lack of minutes, Casado is now weighing up his options at Barca and whether it is time to move on.
Barca rejected an approach from Manchester United for Casado last month, while Saudi Pro League interest also arrived.
His new agent, Jorge Mendes , who he signed with in November, is well-versed regarding the Saudi market, from which João Cancelo recently joined Barca. Indeed, Mendes is fielding enquiries from SPL clubs about the 22 year-old.
While the United interest remains, following the route of Gabri Veiga (Porto) and Aymeric Laporte (Athletic Bilbao) hasn't been ruled out, where both Spaniards spent time in the SPL before returning to Europe this season.
