Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti says he expects to remain at the club next season along with long-serving goalkeeper Iker Casillas.
Casillas turns 34 in May and there has been speculation regarding his future at the Bernabeu Stadium.
But Ancelotti, who has been in charge at Real since June 2013, is confident both he and Casillas will remain.
“Next season I see myself here with Casillas and all of the players who are doing well with Real Madrid,” he said.
Casillas’s contract expires in 2017, although he was rarely used in Real’s La Liga games last season, with Ancelotti opting to play Diego Lopez instead.
But the three-time Champions League winner, who has been at the Bernabeu all his career, has missed just four league games this campaign.
Real’s other keepers are Costa Rica international Keylor Navas and 22-year-old Fernando Pacheco.
“I am lucky to have three great goalkeepers, who are professional and serious,” added Ancelotti.
“I have the three best goalkeepers in the world and we have never talked about signing a goalkeeper next season.”
Real, two points behind leaders Barcelona with seven games remaining, entertain seventh-placed Malaga on Saturday with Barcelona hosting a Valencia side fourth in the table.
Ancelotti will be without injured forward Karim Benzema, but will name the strongest side he can, despite Real being in Champions League action on Wednesday.
Real, who have won their last three La Liga games, play neighbours Atletico Madrid in the second leg of their quarter-final on 22 April. The first leg at the Vicente Calderon ended goalless.
