Arriving at Manchester United in the summer of 2022, Casemiro did not meet all expectations. Not retained by his club, the Brazilian could join Cristiano Ronaldo at Al-Nassr.

It is not only for Raphaël Varane that the move from Real Madrid to Manchester United is a disappointment. Eagerly awaited by supporters of the Mancunian club to strengthen their team’s midfield, Casemiro arrived in the summer of 2022 at Old Trafford. Without being a huge casting error, the Brazilian did not manage to completely convince Erik ten Hag who still regularly fielded him as a starter. But the player’s salary is a problem and now United are ready to part with him.

At least that’s what part of the English press thinks they know, like the Daily Star who indicated that the management of Manchester United would be ready to write a big check to the Brazilian for him to leave. The sum of 23 million euros is thus relayed by Foot Mercatowhich would represent less than what the club would have to pay if Casemiro completed his contract which runs until June 2026. The idea would be to see him leave this summer, at the latest.

Several clubs on the lookout

And as a result, many teams are on the lookout. In Europe, the Italian clubs Juventus and AC Milan are on alert, indicates the specialized French media. But a serious option would be on the side of Saudi Arabia since Cristiano Ronaldo himself would go out of his way to position his Al-Nassr club to attract his former teammate to Real Madrid. The possible departure of Seko Fofana would free up a place for a foreign player in the squad. To be continued.
