Espanyol shrug off Kiko Casilla to Real Madrid speculation

Espanyol shrug off Casilla to Real talk

Espanyol president Joan Collet has revealed that he has rejected Real Madrid's bid for goalkeeper Kiko Casilla.

Speculation is rife that the Blancos have agreed personal terms with the 28-year-old, with long-serving keeper Iker Casillas poised to join Porto.

Earlier this week Collet "categorically denied" that there was an agreement in place for Casilla - who began his career at the Bernabeu - to return, and he says that nothing has changed.

"There is no negotiation with Real Madrid right now, we have rejected the offer," he told reporters.

Casilla only ever represented Real Madrid's B and C teams during his time in the capital.
