Iker Casillas Comments on Potential Move to MLS

Real Madrid's veteran goalkeeper Iker Casillas has revealed that he would be open to a move to the U.S. to play Major League Soccer before his storied career comes to an end.   

The 33-year-old's future at Real has been called into question of late as his form has dipped—although he has recovered well after a poor showing at the World Cup, per the Evening Standard:

Meanwhile, rumours have persisted surrounding a potential successor, with Manchester United's David de Gea a key Los Blancos target, per Simon Mullock in the Mirror.

Casillas will inevitably be superseded at Real, the club he has played for since joining the youth academy in 1990, and a move to MLS is seemingly an option for the Spain international.

He noted the attraction of not moving to a club that competes against Real as well as the potential of experiencing a different style of football, per The Wall Street Journal (h/t David F. Sanchidrian of AS): 

"

I wouldn't be able to leave Madrid and sign for a club that competes against them. But maybe I will look for a new adventure in different and growing league like the MLS. I would like the experience of a different kind of football and if that came tomorrow it would allow me to remember and value the time I have spent at Madrid.

"

Casillas has enjoyed a truly incredible career, winning three Champions League titles and a World Cup amongst many others, and he still commands a starting place under Carlo Ancelotti.

However, MLS would be a fine destination for him in the near future as his career draws to an end as it would be fitting for him to leave Madrid on a high.
