Leeds United announce departure of goalkeeper Kiko Casilla by mutual consent

Leeds United have announced the departure of goalkeeper Kiko Casilla by mutual consent. The announcement ends Casilla's three-and-a-half year spell at Elland Road.

The former Real Madrid stopper signed in January 2019 on a four-and-a-half year deal. Casilla played 61 times for Leeds, keeping 23 clean sheets.

The 35-year-old was found guilty in February 2020 of racially abusing Jonathan Leko during a game between Leeds and Charlton Athletic in September of the previous year. He was given an eight-match ban and fined £60,000.
