Rumours emerged earlier today that Iker Casillas was on his way out of Real Madrid and would be heading west across the Iberian peninsula for Porto.
That was at 2.44pm.

Just 42 minutes later the move was off, apparently due to the Spaniard's contract demands.
Now it appears that Casillas' move to Porto WILL NOT go ahead. Madrid reject Porto's proposal+will not meet the 7M euros of player's salary

Even in today's world of fast-moving news, that's an extremely ephemeral transfer rumour.
Casillas is thought to be on his way out of the Bernabeu due to the imminent, any minute now, definitely going to happen move of David De Gea to Madrid.
