Paris Saint Germain are keeping a close eye on Real Madrid’s centre-half Casemiro, according to Spanish sports website Fichajes.net.
Laurent Blanc has been willing to sign a quality midfielder since he arrived to Paris, and he seems to have targeted the young Brazilian.
Casemiro had a brilliant performance in the pre-season, threatening to push Sami Khedira out of the starting eleven. However, he has always come in from the bench in the few official games he has played.
Since young Spaniard Asier Illarramendi has recovered from his injury and Xabi Alonso is close to making his return, Casemiro options to get minutes will be reduced.
Carlo Ancelotti sees Casemiro as a hot prospect for the future, but Laurent Blanc will reportedly try to seduce the Brazilian offering him an important role at PSG.
The French coach is impressed with the midfielder’s performances so far and would ask Paris Saint Germain’s directors to make a strong bid.
The 21-year-old signed for Los Blancos last January on loan from Sao Paulo. In the summer, Real secured his permanent moved for six million euros.
