Report: Real Madrid interested in Espanyol goalkeeper Kiko Casilla

Are Real Madrid in the process of swapping Casillas for Casilla?

The club is reportedly interested in signing goalkeeper Kiko Casilla from Espanyol to round-out their bench following the departure of Iker Casillas to FC Porto, according to Reuters.

Espanyol president Joan Collet revealed the two clubs have already discussed a transfer fee for the 28-year-old, but have yet to come to an agreement.

"I told Real Madrid that Kiko is worth more than €4m (£2.8m)," Collet said. "We are at €4m and for the time being we cannot accept it."

If the transfer is agreed, it will be a coming home of sorts for Casilla after coming through Real Madrid's youth academy before opting to join Espanyol in 2007.
