Iker Casillas signed two years with Porto

Iker Casillas is history of Real Madrid. The goalkeeper will end in the coming hours to 16 years defending the shirt of the first white team, 25 in the club, a decent career of a legend that will not hang up the gloves in the club of his life, as was always his desire.

The agreement between Madrid and the player is the absence of a fringe and signature. In the last hours, pressured by the proximity of the start of the tour of Madrid, the talks were accelerated, which always prevailed the desire of the club to let go of their captain and goalkeeper predisposition to find a more than decent start, at the height of his career.

The key to unlock the situation has been in the Portuguese tax system. Of the 10 million gross for two years offered by the Porto net Iker receiving end so about 7, as in neighboring taxed at 20%. Thus the Madrid would have to pay only 5.5, net, less than would correspond to international for a year (his contract, which expires in 2017, states would receive 6.5 in the 15-16 and 6 in the 16-17). Of course, Iker is willing to give up some of what would correspond to the contract. All they add up.

Casillas after their holidays in Greece and Southeast Asia, and was yesterday in Madrid, waiting for one of the worst shots of his sports career, to say goodbye to Real Madrid, to Madrid and Real Madrid.

Condemned to understand

The goalkeeper, publicly, always maintained that his desire was to continue in the white discipline, but the club has unequivocally shown him the exit door. The determination of Madrid in signing De Gea has finished convince Iker that was most appropriate change of scenery, also thinking of the Euro in France, where you want to dismiss the selection as a starter, for which he needs to play and not spend a year in the shade.

The club announced the end of season he had but ficharían a goalkeeper, an elegant way to invite you to exit without express openly and front so that the club wanted him out. Casillas has been ruminating in recent weeks for everything that would expose to stay. Substitution, rarefied atmosphere, compromised status in the selection. Too sour cocktail for who has won everything.

Events within a tug of war, have resulted in an agreement that will move in a similar farewell other important players who left with sense current contract and that Madrid paid his salary, if Míchel Salgado and Raul, for example.

All happy

The three parties, which had called for an effort to jointly gain. Iker will play in a club that will allow you to compete at the highest level (dispute the Champions) and live near the capital; Madrid closes a stage in goal and now has free rein to launch into his natural replacement, David de Gea; and Porto joined one of the players with more gallons and history of the world. He signed two years plus an optional third party (subject to the dispute 30 games).

The official announcement is imminent. The timing is determined by today's presentation of Danilo. From there, the Brazilian will go into the background as the club issued a statement that will end one of the most legendary stories of a Real Madrid player.
