Casillas wants free transfer

Iker Casillas is hoping that Real Madrid will let him leave on a free transfer this summer, according to the Express.

The Spain international made just two league appearances last season, with most of his football coming in the Copa del Rey and Champions League – both of which were won by Carlo Ancelotti’s side.

The 33 year old, who has spent his entire career so far at the Bernabeu, is likely to move on to pastures new with Premier League side Arsenal the favourites to secure his services.

However, the Gunners are reluctant to cover both a transfer fee and his hefty wages, so Casillas is keen to help speed a move through in any way possible.

Diego Lopez looks set to continues as Real’s number one next season, though the club have also been linked with a move for Costa Rica shot stopper Keylor Navas, who impressed at this summer’s World Cup finals in Brazil.
