Manchester United midfielder Casemiro will leave the club at the end of the season, and he has been linked with a move to Inter Milan.
The Italian outfit is looking to add more quality and depth in the middle of the park, and they have identified the 34-year-old as a target.
According to a report from the Italian publication Calcio Mercato, they are looking to sign the player on a bargain, and it remains to be seen whether they can get the deal done. The opportunity to move to Italy could be an interesting option for the player at this stage of his career.
Where will Casemiro end up?
He has been linked with clubs in Saudi Arabia and Brazil, but staying in Europe could be a preferable option for him. He is still very much at a level where he can compete at a top club. Inter Milan could provide him with the opportunity to fight for trophies and compete in the UEFA Champions League.
Inter Milan could use a reliable defensive midfielder like him, and his winning experience and leadership qualities could be invaluable additions to the dressing room. The player has shown his quality at Real Madrid and Manchester United in the past, and he has the physicality and technical attributes to succeed in Italian football as well.
Casemiro would be ideal for Inter Milan
Casemiro has added a new dimension to his game this season, and he has scored quite a few goals (7 goals in 29 league games). The Brazilian is still evolving at this stage of his career, and he could prove to be an excellent acquisition for the Italian club.
Apart from the fact that Inter Milan is one of the biggest clubs in Italy, their style of play and the Italian league would be ideal for the player as well. Italian football is less transition-heavy compared to the Premier League, and there is more emphasis on positioning rather than athleticism. For an ageing defensive midfielder like him, it would be the ideal situation. Also, he would get to play alongside the likes of Nicolò Barella and Hakan Çalhanoğlu in the middle of the park. He will have less space to cover than Manchester United, which could hide his mobility issues and allow him to compete at a high level for a prolonged period.
