According to Leeds Live, Leeds United Director of Football Victor Orta would not stop Kiko Casilla from leaving.
What’s the story?
Illan Meslier is the first-choice goalkeeper at Leeds, and Casilla is the number two.
The former Real Madrid and Espanyol goalkeeper may not want to spend another season warming the substitutes’ bench.
After all, Casilla is 34 now.
Leeds Live are reporting that Leeds Director of Football Orta would not stand in the way of the Spaniard if he found a club in Spain to his liking.
Leeds United exit sensible?
Casilla is a very good goalkeeper, but the 34-year-old has not had the best of times at Leeds.
It would make sense for the Spaniard to leave Elland Road on a permanent basis.
According to Spotrac, Casilla earns £32,000 per week as salary at Leeds.
That is quite a lot to pay for a 34-year-old who made just three appearances in the Premier League last season.
Elia Caprile and Dani van den Heuvel are good young goalkeepers who Leeds head coach Marcelo Bielsa could use instead of Casilla if the Spaniard leaves.
