Main PageReal Madrid joins Casilla Espanyol's
Espanyol has agreed a deal for goalkeeper Kiko Casilla to join Real Madrid, the Catalan club said on Friday.
The 28-year-old Spain international arrives following the departure of Real Madrid legend Iker Casillas to Porto and will provide competition for Keylor Navas and the inexperienced Fernando Pacheco in the first team, Reuters reported.
“Espanyol and Real Madrid have reached an agreement in the last few hours for the transfer of Kiko Casilla,” Reuters quoted the Catalan side as saying in a statement on its website.
The deal is reported to involve a payment of around six million euros ($6.54 million) by Real, who retained a 50 percent ownership of Casilla — a product of its youth academy — after he moved to Espanyol in 2007.
Casilla has made one appearance for Spain, in November last year when he came on as a second-half substitute in a 1-0 defeat to World champions Germany, but was not included in coach Vicente del Bosque’s latest squad.
