Madrid – Real Madrid
goalkeeper Iker Casillas has rejected a move to big-spending Manchester
City, who were ready to pay a world record 150 million Euros (about R2
billion) for the Spanish international, Spanish media said.
Under the deal, Casillas would have received 13million
Euros a year to play for the English Premier League side, bought in
September by the Abu Dhabi United Group.
Private Spanish radio station Cadena Ser, which is
usually well-informed, reported yesterday that Manchester City made the
written offer to the player’s agent Luis Garcia Abad.
It was not forwarded to Real as Casillas immediately rejected it, the station said.
The offer of 150 million Euros would dwarf the current
world record 76 million Euros paid by Real Madrid to Juventus for
Zinedine Zidane in 2001. Casillas, 27, nicknamed Saint Iker in Spain, is one of
the world’s best goalkeepers and played a leading role in Spain’s Euro
2008 victory.
