After 25 years with Los Blancos, the legendary shot-stopper will say goodbye to the Bernabeu this Friday, where he will be joined by former team-mates Raúl and Guti.

Iker Casillas will finally end his stint as a Real Madrid player. After 25 years playing in La Casa Blanca's different categories, the shot-stopper is set to leave the club and join FC Porto after a deal was reached between the two teams. Sources in Spain indicate that the goalkeeper from Móstoles will be saying goodbye to fans and media on Friday evening, in a ceremony held at Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, where his family and former team-mates Raúl González and Guti will be in attendance.

Earlier this week, Spanish channel RTVE revealed the Portuguese side was negotiating Iker's contract with Los Blancos, following a couple of phone calls between the player and Julen Lopetegui, Porto's coach. Apparently, the player's wage was the only thing left to be decided, since Porto wanted Real Madrid to pay for a portion of Casillas' salary. Details of the agreement are yet to be disclosed, but sources indicate that Iker will join the Dragons for two years, and he will be earning five million euros per season.

Casillas had been taking serious heat from fans and media for the past seasons. Following his complicated relationship with Jose Mourinho, who publicly accused him of leaking information to the media, particularly to his girlfriend, journalist Sara Carbonero. Later that year, Mourinho decided to hire Diego López and immediately benched the player from Móstoles. After "Mou" left, Carlo Ancelotti decided to rotate López and Casillas, with the legendary goalkeeper playing UEFA Champions League and Copa del Rey matches. After his disappointing performance with Spain in the past World Cup, Casillas asked for one more chance to play with the team, and Los Blancos ended up winning no major trophies this season. Following Carlo Ancelotti's sacking, Rafael Benitez spoke with Casillas, and according to sources, told the player to start searching for a new team to play with.

The deal is expected to be made official within the next few hours. Here are some of Real Madrid's fans thoughts about their captain leaving the club, and according to what his final moments with the team were like, there are mixed reactions to the news.
