The Newcastle United fans will be excited about the 37-year-old’s tweet and they will be hoping to see him play at St James’ Park at some point.

Casillas is still good enough to make a contribution at Newcastle. However, there haven’t been any reports of a move and it seems highly unlikely.

In theory, it could be an ideal move though. Casillas could be a superb back up to Dubravka and his experience would be vital to the dressing room.

The Spaniard has won numerous trophies at every level and he could mentor the young Newcastle players on and off the pitch.

Here is how the Newcastle fans reacted to his tweet.

Iker is a Geordie ⚫⚪
