Kiko Casilla linked with Newcastle
This week, Kiko Casilla appeared on Newcastle's radar, in one of the few rumors the former Espanyol player has been involved in during this summer transfer window. As the clear backup for Keylor Navas at Real Madrid, his situation has not changed since he arrived at the Santiago Bernabéu.
Lack of attention
While rumors circulated about a change in the Madrid goal, with David De Gea or Gianluigi Donnarumma as main characters, few have remembered him. The 30-year-old Spanish international had playing time in 17 games last season, and it was assumed he would continue to be the second goalkeeper next year.
Question of playing time
Every time he has played, he has shown great qualities, as he is a reliable and solid goalkeeper, as he has demonstrated throughout his career. But with a long trajectory ahead of him, there is always doubt about whether he could have more prominence in another team.
International ambitions
Returning to the Spanish National Team (especially with the upcoming World Cup in Russia) seems complicated due to the high level of competition. He has won everything with Real Madrid and has significantly increased his trophy collection, but will this be enough for him? We will see what happens.
