Casemiro "would love" Neymar to join Real Madrid

Real Madrid midfielder Casemiro has revealed that he "would love" his Brazilian teammate Neymar to make the move to the Bernabeu during this summer's transfer window.

Neymar was strongly linked with a return to Barcelona ahead of the 2019-20 campaign, but the Spanish champions were unable to come to an agreement with Paris Saint-Germain over a transfer fee.

Lionel Messi is keen for Barca to make another attempt to re-sign the former Santos youngster this summer, but Casemiro has urged his club to attempt to bring the 28-year-old to the Spanish capital.

"Me and Neymar talk more days, and I would love to have him here at Real Madrid," Casemiro told Onda Cero. "Both of them (Neymar and Kylian Mbappe) are two explosive players and totally different."

Neymar has been in impressive form for PSG this season, scoring 16 times and contributing 10 assists in 19 appearances.

A recent report has claimed that the South American is still open to extending his contract with Thomas Tuchel's side, though, despite the speculation surrounding his future.
