Real Madrid midfielder Luka Modric has said goodbye to former teammate Casemiro following his move to Manchester United.

Modric’s message read: “Dear Casemiro, I still remember your debut in our club… How nervous you were! I asked you to stay calm, and now I think about it and see how it all went. It was also my first season. and none of us could imagine what awaits us at the ball: “You have become a real leader. We will always remember you.”

He continued, “We won a lot together, but I will save moments that no one sees. Daily work in Valdebebas, and above all jokes, because you were always in a good mood, even in moments of stress or when there were mistakes.

He added, “That laugh with you gave me peace of mind. You were the best bodyguard in the world. I will miss you, but I wish you all the best. It’s what a professional and someone like you deserve. good luck my friend!”
