Casemiro claims Real Madrid target Kylian Mbappe is ‘compatible with any club in the world’, as he backs the PSG star to strike up a deadly partnership with in-form Vinicius Junior if he moves to the Bernabeu
- Kylian Mbappe is approaching the final six months of his contract at PSG
- Real Madrid had huge bids for the France striker rejected in the summer
- They continue to be linked with Mbappe, who will be available for free in 2022
- Casemiro feels Mbappe and Vinicius Junior could be an exciting partnershipÂ
Real Madrid midfielder Casemiro believes PSG forward Kylian Mbappe would fit in perfectly if he joins the club, and is already getting excited by the prospect of the World Cup winner playing alongside Vinicius Junior.
The Spanish giants tried to sign Mbappe in the most recent transfer window, but were unable to agree a deal with PSG.
However, the 22-year-old’s future remains far from certain, with his contract at the Parc des Princes set to expire next summer. As things stand, he will be able to walk away from the club for free at the end of June.
Speculation linking Kylian Mbappe with a move to Real Madrid next year refuses to go away
Recent reports have suggested that he is edging nearer to a move to Madrid, and Casemiro is confident Mbappe will settle into the side quickly if the transfer goes through. Â
‘Mbappe is not our player, but he is, of course, a great player’, Casemiro said in the pre-match press conference ahead of Real Madrid’s Champions League clash with Inter Milan on Tuesday.
‘He is top three in the world. And he is compatible to any club in the world.’
Mbappe has shone in Ligue 1 this term, netting seven goals to help open up an 11-point lead at the top of the table for Mauricio Pochettino’s men.
Casemiro thinks Mbappe would thrive at Real Madrid if he opts to join the club in 2022
Vinicius Junior has been on top form this season, and could be playing alongside Mbappe soon
He has been outdone in the scoring stakes by Madrid’s Vinicius, though, with the young Brazilian talent finding the net on 10 occasions in LaLiga.
Casemiro thinks the duo could form a lethal partnership next season should Mbappe choose to move to the Spanish capital.
‘Vinicius and him are in a great moment of their careers and they will be compatible’, he added.
