Casilla, once an Arsenal target, made his credentials clear yesterday against Real Madrid, even though he could not prevent the 1-0 Copa del Rey loss.
The 27-year-old is understood to have a €20m release clause, which had been the same back when Arsenal were attempting an approach.

A former Real Madrid youth academy graduate, Casilla joined the Espanyol set-up in 2007, moving up to their senior team a year later.
His performances this season – including six clean sheets – make him a prime target for Real Madrid, who could yet see Iker Casillas depart in the summer.
