Liverpool linked with surprise move for Casillas


Surprise reports coming from Spanish sports paper AS suggest Liverpool have made a move to sign former Real Madrid star goalkeeper, Iker Casillas.

The 36-year-old, who made over 700 appearances for the Spanish giants, spent last season with Porto but is currently out of contract so would be available with no fee. Despite being linked with moves to China, Qatar and Turkey, Casillas is believed to be interested in a switch to Anfield, for one more year at the top level.

AS go as far as to suggest that Casillas has signed a pre-contract with the Reds, believing he would be able to beat out any competition with current Liverpool number one Simon Mignolet for a starting role.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp did not seem 100% convinced with either Mignolet or summer signing Loris Karius as he switched between the keepers, and despite Mignolet’s impressive form over the last few months, Klopp apparently is determined to strengthen his options further.
