With his contract at Porto ending in June, Sevilla, Arsenal, Chelsea and Marseille, besides Paris Saint-Germain and Liverpool, were linked with the World Cup and two-time European Championship winner, while MLS clubs were also said to be interested.
Casillas nonetheless returned to preseason training with Porto last week, amid speculation the now 36-year-old was taking a pay-cut to remain at the Estadio do Dragao, and confirmation that a deal had been done came via Twitter.
