Rumours: Real Madrid legend linked with Reds
The season has only just ended... but the transfer rumours have started and we already have one of the more far-fetched ones of 2017.
Spanish newspaper AS has today linked Liverpool with a move for Real Madrid legend Iker Casillas.
The 36-year-old has been at Porto for two seasons but will leave the Portuguese giants on a free transfer this summer.
He has also been linked with moves to Qatar, China and Turkey, but AS claim Casillas has already discussed a pre-contract agreement with the Reds.
It is difficult to imagine Jurgen Klopp wanting to sign a goalkeeper such as Casillas. The Reds boss has put his faith in Simon Mignolet, who enjoyed an excellent resurgence in the second half of the season and last year's summer signing Loris Karius.
The Reds are not thought to be in the market for a new goalkeeper this summer but with Champions League football on offer next season, who knows?
