Martín Casillas discusses Real Madrid experience and family history
Martín Casillas, son of former goalkeeper Iker Casillas and journalist Sara Carbonero, has shared reflections on his time with the Real Madrid youth academy. Speaking on the podcast 'Resonancia de corazón' with José Ramón de la Morena, Martín described the joy his family felt during successful periods, noting that his brother Lucas also experienced emotional moments during their time with the club.
Martín expressed a desire to establish his own footballing identity, stating, “I am Martín Casillas, I am the son, but I want to make my own career, I do not want to be compared.”
The family previously lived in Porto, Portugal, for approximately five years following Iker Casillas's move to FC Porto in 2015, before returning to Madrid in 2020. Reports from Diario AS suggest that both Martín and Lucas may be leaving the Real Madrid academy in the coming weeks.
