Real Madrid goalkeeper Iker Casillas has downplayed reports linking him with a move away from the club.

The Spain international denied claims that he issued the club with a transfer ultimatum after falling behind Diego Lopez in the pecking order.

"Regarding my future, I didn't give an ultimatum to Real Madrid," the 32-year-old told Canal +.

"Unfortunately, my name is always in the media and some people do nothing but talk about what I say, when I say it and why I say it."

Casillas featured for Real in Wednesday evening's 2-1 victory over Juventus in the Champions League.
