This season, having kept his goal dry eight times in over 15 matches in the "Porto" team, Iker Casillas claims that he would be ready to return to Madrid's "Real" and the Spanish national team.
There is a higher probability that the 37-year-old veteran will return to Madrid's "Real" as a club ambassador rather than a player, but the possibility of playing for the Spanish national team is still real.
Despite I. Casillas demonstrating solid gameplay, Luis Enrique does not invite the goalkeeper to the team. The Spaniard was last in the national team in 2016, but he has not announced the end of his career.
Speaking with Jorge Valdano, I. Casillas hinted that the decision to leave Madrid in 2015 was timely: "I think I took the right step. If I had stayed longer in the club, I think my time there would have ended even worse than it did then."
"If I were to receive an invitation from the Spanish national team, of course, I would accept it. Would I return if "Real" invited me? Of course, I would. I never forget the place where I grew up."
I. Casillas, who is playing his fourth consecutive season in the "Porto" team, has played a total of 725 matches in Madrid's "Real" club and 167 matches for the Spanish national team.
