Casemiro: 'If Pogba comes, he will be welcome'

The French midfielder has been linked to Real Madrid for weeks and rumours are growing about his possible arrival. Even the players themselves are no strangers to the influence of the international media. In light of this, Casemiro praised his fellow Frenchman.

Asked if he would be compatible in midfield with Pogba, Casemiro answered affirmatively without hesitation: "He is compatible with anyone because he is a great player. If he comes, he'll be welcome, but he's not here now and we have to respect Manchester United.

After briefly analysing the possible arrival of the French midfielder, he was also asked about Hazard: "The best in the world have to be at Madrid and the club will decide who they want to come". And Neymar's name also came up: "You'd have to ask the president that. He's a player with a lot of quality and he's indisputable in any team.

Not only did he talk about rumours, he also left a message to the fans and praised Benzema: "It's the best Karim season since I've been here. He's a great player, a great person and a great team-mate, it's an honour to play alongside him. To the fans I say that Madrid always comes back, and we will come back stronger. We're getting some air.

Regarding the nod to Bale, Casemiro said that the Frenchman has experience to cope, but sees normal to affect him. In addition, he did not want to make a comment Diego Costa's eight match ban and assured that they do not look at Barcelona: "We are only thinking of our seven remaining matches. If they win the Champions, then congratulations.
