AS Monaco have pulled out of the transfer race for Barcelona midfielder Marc Casado. The 21-year-old is expected to leave the Catalan club this summer, but Monaco are no longer in the running to sign him. According to a report from Mundo Deportivo, Casado's agent Jorge Mendes offered him to various clubs, including Monaco, but the Ligue 1 outfit had no intention of entering the bidding. The exact reasoning for Monaco's decision has not been specified, but it is likely that the midfielder was deemed too expensive for the Monegasque club. Casado has a lot of options to choose from, with various Premier League and Bundesliga clubs interested in his services. Atletico Madrid and Saudi Arabian clubs have also been linked with a move for the young midfielder. The onus is now on Casado to find a suitable outfit and carry on negotiations, as Barcelona wait to offload the La Masia product.
