ker Casillas plans to represent Madrid's "Real" club for another eight years.

The 31-year-old footballer made his debut in the main Spanish team back in 1999 against Bilbao "Athletic", so he has already spent 13 years in the team.

Recently, the Spaniard became the fourth player with the most appearances in "Real" history - 630. During this time, he won the UEFA Champions League twice, the Spanish championship five times, and with the Spanish national team - European and world championships.

"It would be a dream come true for me to finish my career at the club where I started and have been since I was nine," said Casillas. "I have a contract that will last until I turn 36, but I would like to stay until I'm 39."

And he added: "Of course, I understand that as the years go by, it becomes increasingly difficult to meet the requirements, others come along who raise the bar. This is an additional responsibility. The years have passed very quickly, but I have a lot to be proud of.
