Struggling Manchester United midfielder Casemiro is reportedly ready to part ways with the Red Devils in the winter transfer window.
According to a report by Brazilian outlet UOL, Casemiro might not have a long-term future at Manchester United. The veteran midfielder has agreed to part ways with the Premier League club in the winter transfer window. The 75-cap Brazilian international does not have a shortage of suitors, with several Saudi Pro League clubs vying for his signature.
Casemiro and a rollercoaster ride
Casemiro has endured a topsy-turvy ride since joining Manchester United from Real Madrid in a big-money deal in August 2022. While the experienced midfielder enjoyed an exceptional debut season with the Premier League outfit, things have gone pear-shaped in the last 18 months.
The 32-year-old struggled throughout the 2023/24 season, and he has fallen in the pecking order in the first half of the 2024/25 campaign. The veteran midfielder has been in and out of the lineup, starting 16 of the 35 games that Manchester United have played thus far this term while chipping in with three goals.
Meanwhile, the Brazilian midfielder has seen his struggles reach the international game, and he might have turned out for the 75th and final time for the Selecao. Casemiro’s struggles have compelled Manchester United to mull over parting ways with him in the winter transfer window.
What next?
While the midfield unit at Manchester United is threadbare, Casemiro currently offers little value. The game against Newcastle United was the latest indication of the experienced midfielder’s struggles and decline. So, it is hardly surprising that the Red Devils are ready to part ways with him next month.
The latest report has suggested that the 75-cap Brazilian international has agreed to leave Manchester United in the winter transfer window. An adventure in the Saudi Pro League might be on the cards, with Al-Hilal, Al Nassr, Al Ittihad, Al Ahli, Al-Ettifaq, and Al-Qadisiyah being potential destinations for him.
As for Manchester United, signing a replacement from the money generated by selling the former Real Madrid midfielder will serve them well. It will be interesting to see where the 32-year-old lands in the winter transfer window.
