Should the option be triggered, Casillas will still be playing at the age of 40, and he intends to retire when the deal expires.“Today is a very special day,” he said after putting pen to paper. “I feel at home at this club. I want to stay here until I finish my career as a footballer.“When I got here, many would think it would be to play a year or two and finish. I only have words of appreciation to this club.
