Real Madrid midfielder Casemiro admits he's working on convincing Neymar to move to the Los Merengues.

The PSG star is a confirmed target for former club Barcelona, however Casemiro says he's speaking with his Brazil teammate about joining him in Madrid.

"I speak to him almost every day and the truth is that I would prefer that he be with us, at Real Madrid," declared Casemiro.

Casemiro's words come just 24 hours after Leo Messi declared hopes of Barcelona bringing back his former teammate.

The Barca captain said: "I have said it several times, at the sporting level, Neymar is one of the best in the world and I would like him to come back. Neymar has a great desire to come back, he has always been sorry..."
