He played for the Castilla for the rest of the season before making a permanent move to the senior squad in the summer for a 6 million. However, the youngster did not figure in Ancelottia s plans and remained behind Alonso, Modric, Khedira and Illarramendi in the pecking order.

In such a situation it seems like Casemiro will play a vital role under Benitez, considering the former Liverpool manager likes to rotate his squad often. <!--Article End--></p>
