AS, via Mundo Deportivo, reports that Iker Casillas has reportedly withdrawn his sons Martin and Lucas from Real Madrid’s La Fabrica academy. The two had been developing as promising goalkeepers in the Spanish capital.
The withdrawal decision
According to AS, via Mundo Deportivo, the decision was strictly sporting and was driven by recent setbacks for Martin.
Martin’s setbacks
According to AS, via Mundo Deportivo, Martin, the elder sibling, reportedly lost prominence within his respective age group at the club, and the demotion subsequently cost him an international call-up.
According to AS, via Mundo Deportivo, Casillas opted to intervene after becoming unsatisfied with Martin’s lack of progression.
Casillas and Real Madrid
Casillas has endured a strained relationship with Real Madrid’s hierarchy over the past decade.
Casillas backed Enrique Riquelme over Florentino Perez during the club’s summer elections.
