Focus for many of our international players has turned to friendlies, World Cup qualifiers and the Confederations Cup.

Florentino Perez reacts to Gonzalo Higuain leaving the club

Perez: I have listened and the only thing that is absolutely mistaken is that the club has never put him up for sale, never. Last year I aslo read that there was a possibility that he was leaving and so I thought he planned on paying the clause, because every person who is in the club when they say they are going to leave they have to think about that. But what he has said is that he would like to leave, he is unconditional, he said he would like to.

interviewer: No, no he said it’s been decided.

Perez: Well I say lets leave it here for now I’ll talk to him or we will talk to him. At this club whomever wants to leave knows what they have to do.

interviewer: 200

Perez: No, it’s not only the clause he has, but it is not easy to leave a club. But we have lots of time

interviewer: Any offers for him

Perez: No, never, the one from Juventus wasn’t until recently. I will see them next Sunday they are going have a match here, but they have never said anything about it to me. We were there when they presented and never have said anything to. You shouldn’t be able to have talks with players without the clubs permission, I’ll will ask them about it on Sunday when they come here. Juventus is a club friend and if they have any interest they should let us know first. What I want to make clear is that during my time as president I have never put Higuain up for sale, and those who asked me directly I’ve told them no.

“I don’t bear any grudges against Mourinho, nor do I feel badly treated by him. He made decisions which he felt were the best ones for the club and I personally nothing personal against him. Unfortunately, we didn’t reach our objectives in the Copa del Rey and the Champions League but I wish him the best of luck at Chelsea because he always stood up for Real Madrid.” 

- Iker Casillas, presentation for the Confederations Cup | 03-06-13
