Real Madrid star Federico Valverde has revealed he misses Casemiro in the Real Madrid dressing room.

Casemiro left Real Madrid for Premier League side Manchester United during the summer transfer window and Valverde has admitted he was sad to see the Brazilian leave the club.

“It was very sad, obviously. For me, he was more than a teammate. He was a very special person, who opened doors for me at all times, advised me, and taught me the values of this team and this club. He always supported me,” Valverde told TNT Sports (via Bola VIP).

“He was my brother in the locker room. I miss him already, but I wish Casemiro and his whole family all the best always, wherever they are.”

Valverde has started the season in fine form and has scored four goals already including a goal against Atletico Madrid last Sunday.
