Real Madrid no closer to Casillas deal

Real Madrid general manager Arrigo Sacchi is confident goalkeeper Iker Casillas will not leave the club on a Bosman in the summer.

"Casillas is Madrid," said Sacchi. "He loves Madrid and he has his family and friends here. The club already has made it clear to him that we want him to continue, but in negotiations there are two parties and all must agree."

"Iker must understand that his future must be written here. In the last week he has made it clear with two magnificent performances."
