The two players posed for photographers wearing scarves from their new club. They could make their Deportivo debuts on Saturday against Villarreal at the Estadio de la Cerámica.
Giménez joins after 13 seasons with Atlético Madrid. The Uruguay international is expected to bring leadership and experience to Deportivo’s defense, and he arrives with competitive rhythm after appearing in two of the first three league rounds.
Casadó comes in with less recent playing time. The former Barcelona midfielder was not used by German coach Hansi Flick in the first three LaLiga rounds. His last appearance in Barcelona colors came in a friendly against Birmingham, the match with which his former club opened its preseason.
