Casillas happy at Real

[Friday, December 05, 2008 ]

Real Madrid goalkeeper Iker Casillas has refused to comment on his link-up with Manchester City, insisting that he is very happy in the Spanish capital.

City, backed by the Abu Dhabi United Group, had reportedly ready to pay the massive €150 million buy-out clause in Casillas' contract and would offer him a €12 million net per season contract.

However, the Spain international refused to consider a move away from the Bernabeu.

The 27-year-old said on Real's official website, www.realmadrid.com: "I don't want to talk about it because I'm very happy in this team.

"I've been here (in the first team) for nine years and this is bigger than anything else, this is where I'm happy."

Casillas has been at Real since he was eight and earlier this year revealed he would like to become president of the Los Blancos once he retires.

He also penned a new contract with Real in February that ties him to his home-town club until the end of the 2016/17 season.
