Iker Casillas wants to join Arsenal

Real Madrid goalkeeper Iker Casillas has reportedly asked the club’s officials to terminate his contract in order to move to Arsenal this summer as a free-agent, reports the Daily Mail.

The reports have suggested the 33-year-old would like to leave the Santiago Bernabeu this summer, whose future at the Spanish capital has been under scrutiny since the club have signed Costa Rica star Keylor Navas from Levante after his sensational displays at the summer’s world cup.

Navas Ready for City Challenge

Manchester City’s latest recruit Jesus Navas has revealed that, although he had other high profile suitors, he had decided on coming to the Etihad in a bid to help the club upset the odds a number of months ago.

Navas has played at Sevilla throughout his professional career but now, after ten years with the La Liga club he has decided that he needs a new challenge to take his game to the next level and, despite apparently having the option to remain in Spain, he was convinced that a £23million move to Manchester was his best bet. “We’ve been talking with Manchester City for four months. The decision is taken,” the 27-year old said. “There had been rumours (about Real Madrid), but Manchester City were in from the start and I had decided some time ago. It’s a good project and it was the moment to make the step.”
