Panathinaikos
On 10 December 2010, it was reported that Casas' former youth club Libertad would sue Panathinaikos for breach of trust. Casas had travelled to Greece in 2009 to trial with Panathinaikos after Libertad had received an invitation from Panathinaikos to trial the player for 30 days. According to Libertad, Panathinaikos had asked Libertad for a one-month extension as the player was passing the trials. During that time, Panathinaikos had convinced Casas to continue at Panathinaikos without Libertad's permission and using the invitation as a trick and the player signed for the Greek club when he turned 18 years old. Libertad detailed that the club deserves 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. The player had signed with the club on a Spanish passport, and was team mates with Greece U21 player Giorgos Machlelis and Australia U20 player Robert Stambolziev.
