As Casemiro leaves for ‘a new challenge’, both Kroos and Modric left him emotional letters, published by Spanish national daily sports newspaper Marca. Both letters are shared here for the readers of The Daily Star:

Casemiro wants to leave Real Madrid in order to sign for Premier League side Manchester United, coach Carlo Ancelotti said on Friday.

Brazil may be hot favourites to beat Mexico and advance to the World Cup quarter-finals but midfielder Casemiro points to the already departed Germans as proof that, in football, favouritism counts for nothing.

Los Blancos midfielder Casemiro says that PSG star Neymar is welcome at Real Madrid.

Neymar’s transfer saga keeps rolling and now Real Madrid’s Brazilian defensive midfielder Casemiro adds to the saga by cheekily stating that Neymar would be welcome at Real Madrid.
