PSG keen on signing €70 million-rated Real Madrid superstar - Reports
PSG are reportedly considering a move for Real Madrid midfielder Casemiro. Casemiro has developed into one of the best defensive midfielders in the world since joining Madrid and could seek a new challenge after spending eight years with the Spanish giants.
According to El Nacional, PSG will need to match Real Madrid's €70 million asking price if they are to sign Casemiro next summer. Mauricio Pochettino currently possesses a wealth of midfield options at his disposal.
However, PSG midfielder Ander Herrera and Idrissa Gueye have entered their 30s. Herrera has also been linked with a move to Barcelona in recent months. PSG could therefore look to sign Casemiro.
Casemiro joined Real Madrid from Brazilian club Sao Paolo in 2012 on loan with an option to buy. The Spanish giants signed the midfielder permanently in the summer of 2013.
He struggled to break into Real Madrid's starting line-up during his debut season with the club and spent next season on loan at Porto.
After returning to Real Madrid in 2015, Casemiro immediately became a regular starter at the Santiago Bernabeu. He formed a formidable partnership in midfield with Luka Modric and Toni Kroos.
Casemiro has helped Real Madrid win two La Ligas, one Copa Del Rey and four Champions League titles during his time with the club. He has gone on to make 295 appearances for Los Blancos in all competitions and has scored 30 goals.
Real Madrid signed French teenage sensation Eduardo Camavinga from Rennes this summer and have been heavily linked with a move for AS Monaco midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni.
The Spanish club seem to be preparing for life without Casemiro, and could therefore be open to selling the Brazilian.
