Casemiro speaks on Mbappe’s move to Real Madrid

Real Madrid midfielder, Casemiro, has said they have enough firepower to “wreck real havoc” this season, even if they do not sign Kylian Mbappe from Monaco.

Madrid have been heavily linked with a move for the 18-year-old, with Marca reporting on Tuesday that a world-record €180million deal has been agreed for Mbappe.

Casemiro praised Mbappe’s talents, but stated he does not believe Madrid need him given Zinedine Zidane has the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale, Karim Benzema and Isco at his disposal.

“We’re aware that he’s a great player, but we’ve also got the BBC [Bale, Benzema and Cristiano], who can wreak real havoc,” he told reporters.

“The more players we have, the better it is for us. That said, the best players are already here.

“We know all about the quality that players like Mbappe, Neymar… possess, but I’ve got to talk about our players.

“We’ve got the world’s greatest player [Ronaldo], then there’s Bale – who’s working very hard – and Karim, who has great quality, Isco, Borja [Mayoral]…I’ll back our players to the hilt.”
