Iker Casillas - "My future is at Real Madrid"

Real Madrid number 1 Iker Casillas put an end to all the rumours regarding his future, insisting that e has no intentions of leaving the Spanish club. The Spain and Real Madrid captain lost his position to Diego Lopez, who joined the club this January, after suffering a hand injury in a match against Valencia. He was announced fit to play a while back, but failed to regain his position.

Despite this situation, Casillas insisted that he had no plans to leave Madrid. He said:

“My future is at Real Madrid. I have a contract with the club and I’ve been here since I was nine years old. It’s been my club for my whole life and it’s where I want to be.”

Mourinho is said to be on the verge of an exit this summer, but Casillas said that he has no knowledge of any news related to that:

“You have to ask him about that,” he said. “I’m here to collect an individual award and what I’m interested in is giving the Madrid fans something to cheer about.

“Given that this year it wasn’t to be in the Champions League, it’ll be in the competition we have left: the Copa del Rey,” he added.

Casillas insisted that everything wasn’t lost for Real Madrid yet, as they had the Copa Del Rey final left to fight for.

“Then we have to give our all to win the final of the Copa del Rey. It’ll be an exceptional final, a game to look forward to, at the Bernabeu; we have to try to win for the supporters, who deserve something to cheer about,” Casillas insisted.
