Monaco striker Kylian Mbappe is one of the most sought-after strikers in Europe.
Real Madrid have been courting the highly-rated teenager following his exploits in France last term.
Manchester City have also been on his trail, although reports have emerged suggesting he will snub Pep Guardiola to move to the Bernabeu in a £160million deal.
Despite talk of a transfer to La Liga, Casemiro doesn’t think Mbappe is a necessity.
When asked about Real’s interest, Casemiro said: “These are things that people outside the club talk about.

The more players we have, the better it is for us. That said, the best players are already here
“He's not a Real Madrid player and I can't comment on any player who doesn't belong to Real Madrid. We're aware that he's a great player, but we've also got the BBC, who can wreak real havoc.
“The more players we have, the better it is for us. That said, the best players are already here.
“We know all about the quality that players like Mbappé, Neymar... possess, but I've got to talk about our players. We've got the world's greatest player, then there's Bale - who's working very hard - and Karim, who has great quality, Isco, Borja…I'll back our players to the hilt.”
