Casemiro 'next in line for new Real Madrid deal'

Brazilian midfielder Casemiro is reportedly next in line to sign a new contract with Real Madrid.

The 25-year-old's current deal at the Bernabeu will run until the summer of 2021, but he has been on the same terms since 2015.

Isco, Marco Asensio and Dani Carvajal have all signed new contracts with the reigning Spanish and European champions over the last few weeks, and according to Marca, Casemiro will be rewarded with a new deal before the end of 2017.

Casemiro has been a key player for Los Blancos since returning from a loan spell at Porto in the summer of 2015.

The defensive midfielder scored six times in 42 appearances during the 2016-17 campaign, and has already netted twice in 11 matches for Real Madrid this season.
