"When you make such an important decision, it's difficult. After the Champions League final I spoke with my agent and told him that I had the feeling that my stint was ending. I'm honest with everyone, I thought about it. He told me to go on vacation and I had a calmer head. When I came back the feeling was the same. But it's that of being the happiest in the world, it's duty fulfilled. The mission is done", Casemiro assured.

Along the same lines, the midfielder added: "After the Champions League final, that first conversation at the end of the cycle came. I wanted to thank my wife, who was the first to support me in whatever I decided. It's been nine years here, it's a important change. My family was with me. It was very difficult to talk to the president, I know how fond he is of me. Honesty is one of my great values, I've always been with him".

"The few people who think that, if it was for that I would have left for money. The club has behaved very well with me. It's my decision. People are wrong if they think that and don't know me. It's the last thing they would think. Last Champions League was a bit magical. I'll stick with that. Luka and Toni are my friends. I go beyond how they are as players. They've always helped me. Playing with them is always easy, it's not easy for me, the merits go to them We have had wonderful nights."

Finally, he referred to his possible replacements: "Madrid signs the best. With Fede Valverde we have him here for the next twelve years. He can play like five. Camavinga can be a great player, he is already very important. Tchouameni knows him a lot of people in this club, he is a starter with France, where there are a billion players. Madrid will continue to win". In the next few hours, Casemiro will begin his new adventure at Manchester United.
