The miracle of Santi Casorla is expected to be extended for another year.

According to Spain's Coffe on the 10th (Korea Standard Time), Casorla met with Real Oviedo President Martin Peláes and delivered his decision to continue his career. Real Oviedo left Casorla to decide on his future next season. Casorla decided to play for the club for another year after much consideration.

Casorla wrote a drama this season. With his amazing performance, he promoted his team to the Spanish Primera Liga. Oviedo lost 0–1 in the first round of the playoff final against Mirandes, but turned the game around in the second round. Casorla scored a crucial penalty in the second leg. Oviedo enjoyed the promotion with a 3-1 aggregate score. Oviedo fans streamed out onto the lawn of the stadium.




Casora also hugged her fans and colleagues and shed tears. I shared a hot kiss with my wife. Casorla delivered a message to all the players who lost hope 'Dream will come true' "I won the national team, played in a big stadium, but nothing is more precious than this moment with Oviedo. This was my dream."

It was literally a miracle move. Casorla, who played for Arsenal in the past, was at the crossroads of retirement due to a serious injury in 2016. He underwent surgery eight times only on the injured area of the right Achilles tendon, and his bone was damaged about 8cm in the process. Medical staff have warned that they may need to amputate their right foot.

According to local media, from a doctor named Kasorl 'Stop forgetting football. Isn't it enough to take a walk in the park with your son. I was told not to wish for more than that.




Casora, who has been absent for more than two years due to repeated injuries, overcame all odds and returned to Villarreal in the 2018-2019 season. As if mocking the popular assessment that he came to spend the twilight years, he performed very well. At the age of 34, he was again included in the Spanish national team.

Casorla made a surprise move to Oviedo, which had been struggling in Spain's second division in 2023. It was to solve the last homework of my career.

Born in Oviedo, Casorla is a graduate of the local club academy. This kid grew up dreaming of La Liga and Spain's national team in Oviedo. However, Oviedo, who suffered financial difficulties, had to sell the team's most talented player. Caso, who left his hometown for Villarreal as if pushing his back, went through Malaga and Arsenal to the top. He made a mark in the Spanish soccer world with his magical touch, beautiful passes, and outstanding foot skills. He contributed to the European Championships in 2008 and 2012. He played 81 A matches and scored 15 goals. Arsenal have contributed to winning the FA Cup twice.

Kasora, who played for Al Saad in Qatar between 2020 and 2023, headed to Oviedo in 2023 to fulfill his heart-wrenching dream for 20 years. The annual salary was 93,000 euros (about 147 million won), equivalent to the lowest annual salary for Spanish soccer, and even decided to donate 10% of the uniform revenue to the youth team. He returned to Oviedo not to make money, but to revive his old team. Oviedo has been unable to return to La Liga for 24 years since being relegated in 2001.

Casorla played insanely even at an age of invincibility. In 35 appearances, he scored five goals and five assists. Casorla's football clock, which seemed to stop at the end of last season, goes back. That's in the first division, too.
