The Academy

The boy is all grown up

Ismael Casas renews his contract with Málaga Club de Fútbol until the end of the 22/23 campaign.

One of the great young players from the MCF Academy for many years is, without doubt, Ismael Casas Casado. The young defender was born in Linares (07/03/2001) and discovered by the clinical eye of Manel Casanova, in the ‘infantil’ category in 2014.

Ismael’s progression has been meteoric, becoming one of the most promising players within the Malaguista youth ranks, as well as a regular international with Spain’s youth teams.

A right-back or central defender, effective, superb at marking and forceful on the attack, Ismael’s name began to resonate in the 17/18 season. In the ranks of CD San Félix, he had an extraordinary season both collectively and individually, such as his two goals against Real Madrid CF in the return leg of the unforgettable semi-final tie of the Copa del Rey juvenil.

Last season he stood out within Atlético Malagueño, playing at ‘juvenil’ age a total of 27 Segunda División B matches. In the current 19/20 season he debuted with the first team in the victory in Santander against Real Racing Club by 0-1 (17/08/2019), and putting on a notable performance in 11 matches in LaLiga SmartBank to date and another in the Copa del Rey.

The MCF Academy is the great present and future heritage of the Club, and has a perfect representative of Blue and White Values in Ismael Casas. Tenacity, talent and a desire to succeed have turned the dream of a young boy from Jaén into reality, and someone ready to be incredibly important to Málaga CF. Keep continuing to grow, Isma!
