Real Madrid goalkeeper Kiko Casilla is reportedly in line to leave the club, amid recent links to Newcastle United.
According to a report from Spanish news outlet Marca, as cited by the Daily Mail, the La Liga giants are keen to sell Casilla in order to make room for Athletic Bilbao goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga.
Casilla is out of favour at the Bernabeu Stadium as it is and this will only be heightened if Kepa is to put pen to paper on a deal with Real.
Newcastle have been on the lookout for a new goalkeeper for some time now and have used both Rob Elliot and Karl Darlow this season.
Although the latter has impressed in recent times, it seems Rafa Benitez remains focused on recruiting a new shot stopper in January, with Casilla likely to be available.
Benitez is sure to be on the lookout for a number of signings in January and it’d come as no surprise to see him make a move for his compatriot Casilla.
