Real Madrid skipper Casillas: I was aware of Arsenal rumours

Real Madrid goalkeeper Iker Casillas admits he was aware of interest from Arsenal in the summer.

But he maintains the Gunners never made a concrete offer.

"I thought about going," Casillas told Canal Plus. "What you want is for Real Madrid to always win. But in the end, at 33-years-of age, you think, why should I [go]?

"I want to fight, to make a go of it, to be reborn from the ashes. There was a lot of talk about an offer from Arsenal, but there was nothing concrete.

"I want to stay at Real Madrid, keep fighting here and finish my career here."
