Real Madrid goalkeeper Iker Casillas says he won't consider opening new contract talks until the end of this season.

Speaking at a presentation to announce a new four-year agreement with Reebok for the Spaniard, Casillas said: "Better that my contract is parked until the summer.

"My focus is on playing football and making sure the team wins. My desire is to play many years for Real Madrid."

"My dream at the beginning of my career was to make the first team. Now I have left in me many more years. I have been here for fifteen and I hope to be here until I retire."

Casillas remains a top target for Manchester United, with his current contract expiring in 2006.
