Manchester United midfielder Casemiro has decided to leave the Premier League club at the end of the season.
Casemiro will be out of contract in the summer, and Manchester United have decided not to renew his deal. The veteran midfielder will move on, and Inter Miami could be his next destination. According to a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, Lionel Messi is pushing the MLS club to sign the player in a Bosman move this summer.
Signing a player of his quality on a free transfer would be a masterstroke from the MLS outfit, and recent reports have claimed that they have opened talks for a deal. They need more quality in the middle of the park, and the Brazilian would be ideal. He will add physicality and defensive cover to the team.
The Brazilian seems to have added a new dimension to his game this season. He has scored quite a few goals for Manchester United. The former Real Madrid midfielder has been linked with multiple clubs in recent times, and it remains to be seen where he ends up.
The 34-year-old will want to play at a competitive level and fight for trophies. Playing alongside the likes of Messi at the MLS club could be quite attractive for him. Meanwhile, Manchester United will have to replace him properly.
Casemiro has been an important player for the Red Devils since arriving from Real Madrid in a £70 million deal a few years ago, and they are lacking a specialist defensive midfielder after his departure. Manuel Ugarte has also been linked to an exit.

The lesser intensity of MLS will suit him at the stage of his career, and he could play his best football with them in the upcoming seasons. The move to the United States could also see him pocket a lucrative contract.
