The soundbites were brief, very brief, but he said the words.
Iker Casillas stopped for a few autographs as he left Real Madrid’s training ground, on Friday morning. Several reporters and cameras were also on the scene and questions were fired at the Spanish goalkeeper as he scribbled a few signatures.
The questions revolved around his future with Los Blancos and speculation linking Manchester United’s David de Gea to the club.
Here are the two gems the world gleaned from the exchange.
REPORTER: Would you like De Gea to join?
CASILLAS: Of course I would”.
REPORTER: Do you see yourself at Real Madrid next year?”
CASILLAS: Yes, I’m going to stay. Do I have to tell you that again?
And like that, he was gone.
