Marc Casado has joined Deportivo
on a season-long loan on a transfer that came right at the very end of the summer window.The midfielder had been linked with other clubs but made the surprise move to head to the Galician side following their promotion back to La Liga.
Casado has now been talking about his decision to move and explained why he was happy to sign for Deportivo.
“Three years ago, when we played here with Barça’s reserve team, we had talks with the club. We considered coming here, but Barça offered
us the chance to play for the first team,” he told reporters.
“It didn’t work out, but I left that match with an incredible impression of Dépor, because of the stadium, the fans, the way the game went… When they offered me the opportunity, the memory of that match pushed me to make that decision.
“Barça is the club that has given me everything so far. I am very grateful to the club. But right now I am focused on Dépor; we have incredible ambition to have a good season. The team is eager and we have enough quality to have a very good season.”
Casado will be hoping to make an impact this season at a Deportivo side that have made a strong start to the season, picking up eight points from their opening four games.
