Iker Casillas linked with Manchester City

Manchester City have once again been linked with a move for Real Madrid goalkeeper Iker Casillas.

The 32-year-old Spanish international is being kept out of the Los Blancos lineup by Diego Lopez and has had to make do with four starts in the Champions League.

He has been repeatedly tipped to end his 23-year association with the capital club with his international prospects ahead of next year's World Cup finals in Brazil suffering from his exclusion.

According to The Mirror, he is one of three goalkeepers targeted by City boss Manuel Pellegrini, while Victor Valdes and Julio Cesar also said to be under observation.

Goalkeeper has become a problem position for the Chilean, with regular number one Joe Hart sitting on the sidelines as he suffers a crisis of confidence.
