On Tuesday, the winner of the 2010 World Cup added that the president of the Portuguese national team, Antonio Pinto da Costa, had told him: “I don’t need you to stay a year, I need you to stay until 40.”
“If I can still fight alongside my teammates until the team goals, I have no challenge to keep playing because I am very grateful to the city and to FC Porto,” Casillas told the club’s website.
Casillas has been in Dragao since leaving Madrid in 2015, the Portuguese name last season.
He will raise a fourth Champions League name to his collection when Porto faced last year’s runner-up, Liverpool, in the quarter-finals in April.
