Marc Casado has left Barcelona for a season-long loan at Deportivo and admits it's tough to leave the Camp Nou.
The 22-year-old had been deemed surplus to requirements at Barcelona but did not manage to complete a transfer away from the club until deadline-day.
Casado has been quizzed about the transfer after being met at the airport by reporters and answered "You never know" when asked about a possible return to Barcelona.
He was also asked if he was upset to be leaving and replied: "Taking a year off from playing at Barça is tough, but I'm excited. I'm not leaving upset; I've already talked it over with the club, and we all have things to improve."
Casado will now spend the season in Galicia and says Deportivo, who are back in La Liga this season, are "building a really solid project, with a lot of drive."

Real Madrid's trip to Galicia for the Teresa Herrera Trophy will take place against a backdrop of growing tension at Deportivo La Coruña, reports Mundo Deportivo.
The Federation of Deportivo Supporters' Clubs, Old Faces and Riazor Blues have called on Deportivo supporters to stay away from the stadium for the clash with Real Madrid.
The groups are protesting against the conditions imposed on season-ticket holders in the Lower Marathon stand, which they believe are "discriminatory" and "unfair".
The supporters' groups want the Deportivo board to reconsider the measures affecting fans in the Lower Marathon section.
They argue that the club has moved too far away from the identity and traditions that have traditionally connected Deportivo with its supporters.

A pair of Spanish clubs have on Tuesday closed a loan agreement for the season ahead. This comes amid confirmation that Carlos Domínguez has swapped Celta Vigo for Real Oviedo.
Stopper Domínguez is for his part a product of the academy setup at the aforementioned Celta, a club with whom he has spent the entirety of his playing career to date.
After building a solid reputation for himself at senior level over the years prior, however, last season, the 25-year-old was forced to contend with a major drop-off in prominence in Galicia.
All told, Domínguez was afforded just eight appearances across the length of the La Liga campaign.
Speculation had therefore begun to mount over recent weeks that the central defender could be farmed out on loan by Celta Vigo, to secure more regular playing time in 2026/27.

Real Madrid will play their penultimate pre-season friendly of the summer tomorrow when they take on Deportivo La Coruna in the Teresa Herrera Trophy match.
The Merengues will lock horns with the newly-promoted La Liga club at Estadio Riazon, returning to the Teresa Herrera Trophy after 13 years.
Ahead of the trip to Galicia for the friendly tomorrow, manager Jose Mourinho has announced the squad list of Real Madrid players who will be at his disposal for the match.
And, in what comes as a bit of a surprise, new summer signing Yan Diomande has not been called up for the trip.
After his arrival last week, the Ivorian winger, who cost €140 million including add-ons, was left out for the friendly against Ferencvaros, and it was widely expected that the 19-year-old would make his debut against Deportivo.

Amadou Onana’s World Cup is over. Worse still, his season is in tatters before it even began. The Belgium midfielder snapped his anterior cruciate ligament during a brutal knockout clash against the United States, leaving Unai Emery with a massive, gaping hole in the center of his pitch. Villa are returning to Europe’s elite tier, and they need a physical anchor right now.
VIGO, SPAIN – MAY 23: Ilaix Moriba of Celta Vigo celebrates scoring his team’s first goal with teammate Sergio Carreira during the LaLiga EA Sports match between RC Celta de Vigo and Sevilla FC at Estadio Abanca-Balaidos on May 23, 2026 in Vigo, Spain. (Photo by Diogo Cardoso/Getty Images)
Naturally, the rumor mill is already spinning. Spanish newspaper Faro de Vigo, via Sport Witness, claims that this sudden injury has forced Villa to look closely at Celta Vigo’s Ilaix Moriba. It makes sense on paper. The 24-year-old former Barcelona prospect matches the physical profile of the sidelined Belgian. Look closer at the actual report, though. There is zero evidence of fresh contact or concrete negotiations. It looks very much like a rehashed version of old transfer market links rather than a deal that is actually moving quickly.
Moriba did manage to rebuild his stalling career in La Liga last year after a terrible time with RB Leipzig. He played 36 league games and scored twice for Celta Vigo during the 2025/26 campaign. The Galician club paid £5.2m to sign him permanently last summer, locking him down until 2029.
He has decent numbers. Yet, he completely lacks the elite defensive presence needed to protect a Premier League backline. 152 defensive contributions across an entire season is a poor return. He disappeared in high-stakes matches. He handles discipline poorly too, picking up eight yellow cards last term.
