Championship leaders Leeds United have signed Real Madrid goalkeeper Kiko Casilla on a four-and-a-half-year deal.
He has joined Leeds on a free transfer, having negotiated a deal to buy himself out of the remaining 18 months of his contract at the Bernabeu.
The 32-year-old, who won one cap for Spain in 2014, started his career with Real and rejoined the club in 2015 after eight seasons with Espanyol.
Casilla has made 43 appearances for Real since returning.
He will compete for a starting place with Bailey Peacock-Farrell, who has played 31 games for Marcelo Bielsa's side this season.

Kiko casilla clutch moments in Real Madrid will forever be remembered. He didn't play but when navas was not there he was here to help. Good bye kiko casilla one of the most loyal guys... never complained about game time or anything. Hope he has a good career in leeds thanks for everything Kiko π₯β€

I take offence with that statement, how do you define a "flop"?? Is it someone who was given enough playtime but failed to showcase their quality or someone who didn't even get enough playtime for to be judged like that

just waiting for navas to go. He have to leave real Madrid as that club don't respect legends. They don't gave a farewell to Ronaldo,iker and also this kiko. They are not Hala Madrid they are Haha Madrid. This is good club but please respect legends. many legend came and gone but they don't gave the respect

Its funny that before casilla left, madrid had 5 GK's courtoius, navas, casilla, zidane Luca, lunin. Surprising. Good as casilla left.

I guess that Leeds coach Bielsa also sent spies to spy on casilla in the valdebebas training ground before deciding to sign him. π π π

I think he took the right decision because with two great goalkeepers like courtois and navas in Real Madrid there was no chance for him to feature in the squad
