Real Madrid goalkeeper Iker Casillas has welcomed the potential arrival of David De Gea.

The Manchester United star continues to be linked with a summer move to the Santiago Bernabeu and if he were to make his home once again in Madrid, Casillas would not be opposed to having him as a teammate.

"If De Gea does come here, he'll be welcomed," Casillas told El Larguero.

"Competition is healthy - there is no clause in my contract which states that I have to be first choice; we'll have to compete for a place like we do with Spain.

"De Gea is a great bloke and a goalkeeper for the present and the future. He can handle pressure and the experience he has had at Manchester United will have served him well."
