Casemiro "very happy" with Real Madrid return

Casemiro is "very happy" to return to Real Madrid, rather than sign a permanent deal with loanee club Porto.

Brazilian midfielder Casemiro has spoken of his delight following confirmation that he will play for Real Madrid next term.

The midfielder spent last season on loan with Porto, who had wanted to make the deal a permanent one this summer.

However, Madrid recently blocked that from happening by paying their Portuguese counterparts a reported £4m.

Speaking to Marca, the 23-year-old revealed that he is "dying to run out at the Bernabeu again".

"I'm very happy at getting to return to what I consider my home. I'd like to thank Real Madrid and Rafa Benitez for the faith they've shown in me," he said.

"I'm sure I won't let them down. Playing for Real Madrid is a dream that I don't want to give up on. I'm dying to run out at the Bernabeu again."

Casemiro, who is a part of the Brazil squad for this summer's World Cup, joined Los Blancos from Sao Paulo in 2013 and he has gone on to make 27 appearances.
