Real Madrid goalkeeper Iker Casillas has welcomed the club's interest in David De Gea, insisting that the Santiago Bernabeu side should sign the Manchester United star.
The under-fire club captain insist the European champions should move for the 24-year-old, even though it could signal the end for him
Casillas has suffered heavy criticism in recent seasons following a number high-profile mistakes and there is mounting speculation that the Liga outfit are ready to axe their captain this summer.
But despite suggestions that De Gea’s potential arrival could signal the end of his spell in the Spanish capital, Casillas still feels that Madrid should move for the 24-year-old shot-stopper, who has thus far refused to sign a new contract at United.
Indeed, when asked by reporters if he would like to see De Gea arrive from Old Trafford, the Blancos skipper stated: “Of course I would."
However, when asked if he would be at the Bernabeu himself next season, a defiant Casillas added: “Yes, I will be [at Real Madrid next season].”
