Career edit
Panathinaikos edit
On 10 December 2010, it was reported that Casas' former youth club, Primera División Paraguaya team Libertad would sue Panathinaikos for breach of trust.[3] Casas travelled to Greece in 2009 to trial with Panathinaikos after Libertad received an invitation from Panathinaikos to trial the player for 30 days.[3] According to Libertad, Panathinaikos asked Libertad for a one-month extension as the player was passing the trials. In that time, Panathinaikos convinced Casas to continue at the club without Libertad's permission, using the invitation as a trick, and the player signed for the club when he turned 18 years old.[3] Libertad detailed that the club deserved expenses due to forming the player:
"We brought him from the interior, we looked after him, we gave him food, we gave him home health, we formed him for four years to become a Libertad player and he is taken. It is a similar case to Juan Iturbe".[3]
The player signed with the club on a Spanish passport,[2] and was team mates with Greece under-21 player Giorgos Machlelis and Australia under-20 player Robert Stambolziev.
