Arsenal
and Liverpool suffer blow as Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti rejected Iker
Casillas sale.
Real
Madrid have denied to sell their veteran goalkeeper Iker Casillas this summer,
according to Spanish reports.
The
reports claimed that Arsenal and Liverpool were keeping strong tabs on him since
last summer and were weighing up a bid for the coming summer window.
The
Spanish keeper who was promoted from Real Madrid academy has been heavily
linked with a move away from Santiago Bernabeu in the past few months.

Ancelotti
said clearly that they want to keep Casillas, he is happy and wants to stay too
despite of his struggling time in the past few seasons.
"Iker
was very clear, he wants to stay. We want him to. I want him to."
The
Italian boss further admired him that he is a great player and a great man.
Casillas
lost his starting place last season but managed to play the Champions League campaign
and lifted the tenth trophy in the end.
But he
has been a regular this season, played 27 La Liga games so far this term and
has kept 12 clean sheets.
