Marc Casado is set to join Depor from Barcelona on an initial loan deal that will include a €30m option to buy, according to Fabrizio Romano, who has described the transfer as “HERE WE GO”.
The two clubs have reached a verbal agreement over the move for the midfielder. However, Casado has not yet signed his contract, with the remaining formal steps still to be completed before the transfer can be finalised.
The proposed deal would see Casado leave Barcelona temporarily, while giving Depor the opportunity to make the move permanent for €30m. The buy option clause is included in the initial agreement between the clubs.
Romano’s “HERE WE GO” confirmation indicates that the key terms have been agreed, although the transfer is not yet complete because the relevant documentation and contract formalities remain outstanding.
Casado is still required to sign his contract with Depor. Until that process has been completed, the move remains at the verbal-agreement stage despite the agreement between Barcelona and the Spanish club.
The midfielder’s proposed switch is therefore structured in two stages: an initial loan from Barcelona to Depor, followed by the possibility of a permanent transfer for the agreed €30m fee. Depor would have the option to activate that clause, as set out in the terms reached by the two clubs.
No further details of the loan arrangement have been provided. The €30m figure refers to the buy option included in the deal, while the immediate move is expected to take place on a temporary basis.
The agreement marks the next step in Casado’s career away from Barcelona, with Depor now set to complete the formal work required to bring the midfielder to the club. The transfer will be confirmed once the contract has been signed and the outstanding procedures have been carried out.
For now, the central elements of the deal are in place: Barcelona and Depor have reached a verbal agreement, Casado is expected to join on loan, and a €30m option to buy has been included. Formal confirmation will follow after the player signs his contract.
