Manchester United midfielder Casemiro has been linked with a move away from the Premier League club in recent weeks.
Casemiro has not been at his best, and his agent has reportedly offered the veteran Brazilian midfielder to Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr, according to Italian journalist Rudy Galetti.
Casemiro Facing an Uncertain Future at Manchester United
It will be interesting to see if Manchester United are prepared to sanction his departure during the January transfer window. Casemiro has looked like a shadow of his former self, and his performances have been rather underwhelming this season.
That said, Manchester United are lacking a specialist defensive midfielder and might not be let him leave without bringing in a quality replacement first. It remains to be seen whether Al Nassr take up the opportunity to sign the player in the coming weeks.
A move to Saudi Arabia would not be a bad option for the Brazilian at this stage of his career. He has already proven himself in European football over the years, and he has won multiple major trophies with Real Madrid. Casemiro had an impressive season with Manchester United last year as well.
Saudi Pro League Calling?
However, he is clearly going through a rough patch right now, and it remains to be seen whether he decides to pursue another adventure. A move to Saudi Arabia could prolong his career and let him bag a lucrative contract in the twilight stages of his career.
It remains to be seen whether Manchester United can convince the player to stay at the club until the end of the season. The Red Devils have had a disappointing campaign so far, and they will be desperate to secure a top four finish.
Missing out on Champions League qualification will be a devastating blow for them, and they need to keep their squad intact to stand any chance of making it to the top four. There is no doubt that Casemiro is a world class player on his day, and he will hope to get back to his best during the second half of the season.
Manchester United will certainly hope that he can find his confidence and rhythm in the coming weeks. The Red Devils have been quite vulnerable defensively and someone like Casemiro could protect the central defence and break up opposition attacks if he can get back to his best.
