Deportivo A Coruna Loan Barcelona Midfielder Marc Casado with Purchase Option
Deportivo A Coruna have secured a season-long loan deal for Barcelona midfielder Marc Casado, including an option to buy. The 22-year-old arrives at the Riazor hoping for more regular first-team opportunities after winning multiple major domestic trophies and making 75 senior appearances for the Catalan club.
Galician Side Lands Barca Talent
The move was officially announced by Deportivo, confirming Casado's arrival from Barcelona on loan. Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano revealed the contract contains a buy option set at €30 million (£26 million/$35 million) to be activated at the end of the season. Casado leaves Catalonia aiming to secure consistent playing time after progressing through La Masia and establishing himself in senior football.
Depor Highlights New Signing's Credentials
The Galician club praised Casado’s experience and achievements despite his young age. Their statement noted he has an impressive trophy haul, featuring two LaLiga titles, one Copa del Rey, and two Supercopas de España.
They also emphasized his tactical adaptability: "With this signing, Deportivo adds a promising and versatile player who is already familiar with top-level football and has competed in both domestic and international tournaments."
Versatile Midfielder Seeks Playing Time
Casado exits Camp Nou after falling behind midfield regulars like Rodri, Frenkie de Jong, and Marc Bernal. He made 75 appearances for Barcelona’s senior side and earned two caps for Spain’s national team, performing effectively as both a holding midfielder and right-back. His experience includes 49 La Liga matches and 19 Champions League games, offering valuable quality to Deportivo this season.
Upcoming Debut Against Villarreal
The 22-year-old could feature immediately on Saturday when Deportivo visits Villarreal in their fourth league match. The newly promoted team has started well, sitting eighth with five points from three games. This challenging away fixture provides Casado with a chance to make an instant impact.
