REAL MADRID star Casemiro has urged international team-mate Neymar to join him at the Bernabeu.
Neymar has been linked with a move to the European champions just a year after making his £198million switch to Paris Saint-Germain.
Real are believed to be preparing to launch 'Operation Neymar' this summer in an attempt to take the world's most expensive footballer back to Spain.
It is believed the 26-year-old is not happy with life in the French capital less than 12 months after he quit Barcelona to move there.
And Real ace Casemiro, who knows the forward well from their time in the Brazil squad together, believes the club should go all out to get the deal done.
He told : “Neymar has always been spectacular, since he was 11 years old. He does crazy things.
“With the quality that he has, I would sign him for sure. I hope he comes this season.
“He is a great player, one of the top three in the world. He can do whatever he wants off the pitch if he continues to do what he does on it.

“He would get along very well with Cristiano, very well.
“I don’t think there is any chance that he will come to Real, but you have to ask Florentino Perez.

"He knows that the door is always open for him in Madrid, but he is happy in Paris. He always says that he is happy there, that he is comfortable in Paris.
"There are many Brazilians there too, it is very quiet there, but whether it’s possible you have to ask Florentino."
Neymar is currently sidelined after surgery on the broken foot he suffered last month which is expected to keep him out of action until next month.
There had been fears that he would struggle to be fit for the World Cup but specialists believe the operation to fix the bone went well and he should be ready for Russia.
