Real Madrid have found the replacement of Iker Casillas upon signing Espanyol’s goalkeeper.

Online gambling sites in Spain report that Kiko Casilla has held a press conference on Friday. In this press statement, the goalkeeper said goodbye to the loyal fans of RCD Espanyol, and the talented goalkeeper has announced to have signed a contract for joining the squad of Rafael Benítez.

Joan Collet, the president of the Catalan side, has also taken part in the event in which he declared that his club will earn EUR 6 million thanks to this transfer. Casilla will join Real Madrid’s training camp in Australia as soon as possible, in order to be able to catch up with his new teammates and adopt quickly.

Real Madrid is the new club for Kiko Casilla, but it is not a completely new area for the keeper. He was raised in Real Madrid’s youth academy, and even has debuted in the reserve team. He played five games at Real Madrid Castilla between 2005 and 2007, and afterwards he signed for Espanyol B, and became key player for the first team.

According to the reports of spanish gambling news, Casilla will have a hard time and will have to fight hard for his place in the team as Keylor Navas is a great competitor. In addition, the rumours about Real Madrid chasing Manchester United’s David De Gea are still alive and vivid. It is questionable whether or not Casilla will be able to handle the pressure, but finally, he arrived back home.
