Iker Casillas’ parents have claimed that Real Madrid president, Florentino Perez, forced the goalkeeper out of the club.
The Spain international is set to join FC Porto after both clubs agreed a deal, as Madrid look to ramp out interest in Manchester United’s David De Gea.
After the transfer was confirmed, Casillas’ parents Jose Luis and Mari Carmen, spoke with Spanish daily El Mundo and said their son was too good for the Portuguese team he is joining.
“Iker has put up with a great deal, he has suffered psychological pressure and they treated him differently to other players,” Mari Carmen said.
“I have watched him suffer for many years. It is Florentino who is pushing him out because he wanted to end his career at Real Madrid.
“Porto is a third-tier team for someone of Iker’s stature. A world champion can’t end up at Porto”, he added.
