Carlo Ancelotti wants Iker Casillas stay at Real Madrid

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti has said that he wants Iker Casillas to remain with the team.

The Spain international goalkeeper is contemplating leaving the club in January after falling down the pecking order at the Santiago Bernabeu since last season.

"I haven't talked to him about leaving," Sky Sports News quotes the Italian boss as saying.

"He's a great keeper and a great professional. Even if he doesn't play he helps the team, he's a true captain."

Casillas has been at Madrid his entire career.
