LIVERPOOL'S chances of signing Iker Casillas are rated as "crazy" by the former Real Madrid keeper's agent.
The Reds and Newcastle are thought to be keen on Casillas - even though he is 36.
Carlo Cutropia insists there is ‘no truth’ to rumours that his client will be coming to the Premier League.
And certainly not to the Reds despite unreliability problems surrounding Simon Mignolet and Loris Karius.
Cutropia said: "Of the crazy stuff I have seen, this is the craziest," he told Radio Renascena.
"It is crazy and there is no truth in it.

"Casillas is calm and happy at Porto and he wants to play, logically, just like any footballer.
"I believe that Iker and the manager speak every day, but there are issues between the manager and the player.

"You have to give it time but there is complete calm. I am reading many things in the press, everything is false, and it leaves me surprised, and that’s it.’"
Casillas had kept seven clean sheets in 10 appearances for Porto this season, but has been dropped by head coach Sergio Conceicao for poor performances in training.
"He’s trained below what I demand,’ he said. The players know what my rules are, how I lead and that I demand that everyone is always at 100 per cent in training.
"I have to be consistent in the locker room, regardless of whether the player’s called Joquim, Manuel or Antonio.
"If I make exceptions, I lose the whole squad. So I won’t do that.

"I can’t close my eyes on two weeks of training that did not reach my expectations and Iker cannot understand this.
"He didn’t train with the energy that I demand."
