Arsenal's move for Real Madrid keeper Iker Casillas is OFF
IKER CASILLAS has ruled out a summer move to Arsenal - insisting: "My future lies at Real Madrid."
The Spanish international, 31, had been tipped to link up with Arsene Wenger in a move to the Emirates Stadium.
Casillas has found himself out of favour at Madrid, losing his place to Diego Lopez, but remains adamant he will stay at the Bernabeu.
He said: "My future lies at Real Madrid because I am under contract.
"I've been at the club since I was nine years old, this is my boyhood club and it's where I want to be."
Casilla was yesterday awarded 'The Gold Medal of the City of Madrid' as recognition of 'his personal and professional contribution as one of the foremost ambassadors of the city of Madrid and Sport'.
