Real Madrid goalkeeper Iker Casillas has hinted that he could move to the MLS in the future.

The 31-year-old has been played for the Spanish giants for the entirety of his career so far, and has won La Liga five times and the Champions league twice.

"I would like to play out my football in the future in a more relaxed environment, and if I have to play somewhere else then it would be for a team that would not come into direct competition with Real Madrid," he told La Sexta. "For example, in the USA, which I love.

"I would like to retire with Madrid, but if the critics are fierce when I am 31, imagine what they will be like when I'm 37."

Casillas's current contract with Madrid runs out in June 2017.
