A New Chapter with Deportivo
Reflecting on his exit, Casado acknowledged the emotional weight of departing the club where he has spent his senior career. Speaking to the media as he prepared to leave Barcelona, he noted that while there are always aspects of one's game to improve, the reality of leaving such an institution is inherently complex. Despite the frustration surrounding his recent treatment, the midfielder expressed optimism regarding his future with his new club.
Casado, who has accumulated 75 first-team appearances for Barcelona and earned his international debut for Spain in 2024, highlighted the appeal of the project presented by Deportivo. The club, which recently secured a return to the Spanish top flight, has been aggressive in the transfer market this summer, and Casado appears eager to contribute to their efforts in La Liga.
Background and Career Context
Born in 2003, Casado rose through the ranks at Barcelona B before establishing himself in the senior setup. During his time at the Camp Nou, he was part of a squad that secured a domestic treble, claiming titles in La Liga, the Copa del Rey, and the Supercopa de España. His transition to Deportivo marks a significant shift, as he joins a historic club that boasts a La Liga title from the 1999–2000 season and two Spanish Cup victories in its trophy cabinet.
