Manchester United are reportedly considering selling veteran Brazilian midfielder Casemiro in the coming months.
A report from talkSPORT claims that Manchester United could cash in on Casemiro in the coming months. The Brazilian international has not been at his best this season, and it remains to be seen whether the Red Devils can find a new club for him.
There is no doubt that he is one of the best defensive midfielders in the world. But his form has been quite mediocre this season. It remains to be seen whether he can get back to his best in the next few weeks. He could be an indispensable asset for Manchester United if he manages to regain his form and confidence once again.
Meanwhile, Casemiro, who reportedly does not want to leave Manchester United, is thought to be on the radar of a number of Saudi Arabian clubs. But it remains to be seen whether they decide to try their luck for him during the January transfer window.
Casemiro is in the twilight stages of his career, and a move to Saudi Arabia could be an interesting option for him. He would get to earn a lot more than he does at Manchester United, who signed him for £60 million last year, and he would get to experience a new league as well.
Playing in the Saudi Pro League could prolong his career as well. The intensity is far less compared to the Premier League, and Casemiro could thrive in the Saudi Pro League. However, Manchester United are already lacking in depth when it comes to the central midfield, and they might not be able to sell the Brazilian without bringing in a quality replacement first.
They will need to bring in a specialist defensive midfielder who can partner Sofyan Amrabat at the heart of their midfield. Manchester United should look to bring in a quality playmaker as well who will add creativity and control to the side.
Manchester United have had a disappointing start to the season by their standards, and it remains to be seen whether they can turn things around in the coming weeks. Signing the right players in January could help them finish the season strongly and secure Champions League qualification. Casemiro’s departure will not only help them raise some money for January signings but also free up the wage bill for them.
