Casemiro is reportedly ready to part ways with Manchester United in the summer transfer window, although his wages might block a departure.
According to a report by Caught Offside, Casemiro faces an uncertain future at Manchester United heading into the summer transfer window. The two parties are ready to part ways, with clubs from Turkiye, Saudi Arabia, Brazil, and MLS keen on securing his services. However, the Brazilian midfielder’s wages and the Red Devils’ asking price of €30 million pose a problem for the prospective suitors.
Casemiro and his Manchester United misery
Casemiro was one of the best midfielders in the world at his peak, and he carried that pedigree to Manchester United when he arrived from Real Madrid in a big-money deal in August 2022. The veteran midfielder hit the ground running at Old Trafford and played his part in a successful 2022/23 campaign for the Red Devils.
However, the 33-year-old has struggled to perform consistently since the 2023/24 campaign began, and he has been in and out of the starting lineup this term. The experienced midfielder has managed only 1,854 minutes of game time across 30 appearances in all competitions while chipping in with three goals.
With the Brazilian midfielder’s stature at Manchester United reducing, the Red Devils are eager to cash in on him in the summer transfer window. Meanwhile, clubs from Turkiye, Saudi Arabia, Brazil, and MLS are keen on signing the former Real Madrid star, with the player ready to embark on a new adventure.
What next?
Recent reports have claimed that Casemiro might remain at Manchester United until the summer transfer window of 2026 instead of departing from Old Trafford this year. However, Caught Offside has suggested that the veteran midfielder is ready to part ways with Manchester United after the 2024/25 season ends.
With clubs from Turkiye, Saudi Arabia, Brazil, and MLS ready to take a chance with him, summer approaches might be on the cards. However, the experienced midfielder does not want to compromise on his wages, while Manchester United will demand around €30 million to part ways with him in the summer transfer window.
Those two factors pose a problem for prospective suitors, and Manchester United might have to demand a lower price than €30 million to sell the 33-year-old Brazilian international. It will be interesting to see what the future has in store for the former Real Madrid star.
