West Ham have decided to reject a move to sign Porto goalkeeper Iker Casillas on a free transfer, according to Transfer Market Web.
The report also claims that London rivals Arsenal have also opted against signing the former Real Madrid stopper, because of his age and his astronomical wage demands.
This comes after Spanish outlet AS claimed Premier League rivals Liverpool had reached an agreement with the 167-time Spain international to bring him to Anfield on a pre-contract agreement.
Casillas, 36, is recognised as one of the world’s best goalkeepers after 16 years between the sticks in Real Madrid’s first team following his debut way back in 1999.
The former Real captain went on to make an enormous 732 league and cup appearances for the Spanish giants, keeping 234 clean sheets in the process.
The Spaniard’s trophy cabinet includes triumphs such as a World Cup trophy, three Champions League victories and two European Championship successes.
However, Casillas’ two-year stay with Portugal has not proved to be as fruitful, failing to win a trophy and being criticised for his performances with the Portuguese giants.
Porto’s number one could be seeing his career beginning to enter its final stages, despite making 43 appearances during the 2016-17 campaign.
Although Slaven Bilic’s side are likely to be in the summer transfer window for a new goalkeeper despite confirming a deal to keep Adrian at the London Stadium, it is believed they will look elsewhere instead of signing Casillas.
