The Hansi Flick era has not really panned out at FC Barcelona as most people expected it to. For instance, no one could have imagined such a big turn in a team’s fortunes that ended the last season without a trophy.

Furthermore, some of Flick’s choices regarding his team selection have also been surprising. One such policy that few could have expected from the German coach is his reliance on La Masia talent. Several players from the youth ranks are playing regularly in Flick’s team, and their performances have been highly encouraging.

Thus, Flick’s arrival has not disturbed the Blaugrana club’s faith in the academy-trained talent. This faith in the youngsters is shown most clearly by the way the club has protected its youngsters with very high release clauses.

For instance, youngsters like Lamine Yamal, Gavi, Fati, and Balde all have release clauses of €1 billion. Some other senior players like Pedri, Araujo, and Kounde have the same release clauses.

Below them are three more youngsters, Fermin Lopez, Marc Bernal, and Pau Cubarsi, as they all have release clauses of €500 million inserted in their contracts.

But Marc Casado has been the latest La Masia graduate to have announced himself to the world with his performances under Hansi Flick. As he has not long been in the spotlight, SPORT reports that he has a relatively low release clause of €100 million.

Some other players like Pablo Torre, Gerard Martin, Pau Victor, and presumably Hector Fort, also have the same release clauses.

But keeping in view the rapid development of Casado, it might not be far when Barcelona start looking to increase his termination clause. His market value has already seen a considerable rise, as it has increased from €2.5 million in June to €15 million now.

This valuation is expected to increase even further in the coming months, keeping in view Casado’s good performances. young midfielder has already provided 5 assists this season, three of which came only in the last three games. In these three games against Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, and Espanyol, he also recovered the ball 16 times, and lost it only 2 times.
