According to the Spanish press, the club is planning to try to acquire Madrid star Iker Casillas. Unofficially, the possible transfer fee is rumored to be as high as 25 million euros.
A huge transfer fee would not be the only aspect to entice the Spaniard to England. According to the press, "The Red Devils" are willing to offer a five-year contract to one of the best goalkeepers on the planet, with the goalkeeper receiving 5 million euros per year in Manchester.
Currently, the football player's contract with "Los Galacticos" is valid until 2006 and is relatively small - "just" 2 million euros per year. However, the club's vice-president Emilio Butragueno stated that the Spaniard will remain in the Madrid team and will soon extend his contract.
If the transfer were to happen, I. Casillas would help solve the long-standing problem of unreliable goalkeepers in the "Man Utd" team. The current team's goalkeeper from Northern Ireland, Roy Carroll, has been playing unsteadily this year and making childish mistakes. He will likely leave the team at the end of the season. By the way, there is also interest in I. Casillas from Milan.
