Casillas backs Valencia trio for Real Madrid

Real Madrid goalkeeper Iker Casillas says three of Valencia's stars should be targeted for next season.

Casillas is vocal about Real signing local talent and explained: "To foreign players, I am not 'racist'. I simply believe that there are Spanish players who could play well in a team like Real Madrid, like David Villa, David Silva and Juan Mata."

Asked about next season's coach, Casillas added: "I've worked with Juande Ramos and I really enjoyed these six months. I think he deserves a chance."
