Leeds open talks to sign Real Madrid goalkeeper

Leeds United are in talks with Real Madrid in an audacious attempt to sign goalkeeper Kiko Casilla, according to Sky Sports.

The 32-year-old came through the youth-ranks for the European Champions, before moving to Espanyol without featuring for the first-team. Loan spells at Cadiz and Cartenega followed, before he became first-choice for The White and Blue.

In 2015, Casilla returned to the Bernabeu for a fee of €6m. Playing a bit-part as an understudy for Keylor Navas, Casilla has been involved in Real’s three Champions League successes, and also featured on eleven occasions during the club’s 2016/17 La Liga title victory.
