Saudi Pro League clubs remain in talks with Casemiro’s representatives over a potential transfer this summer.
The 32-year-old Brazilian recently finished his second campaign as a United player but did not reach the heights of his debut campaign.
Casemiro wasn’t the only United player to underperform, but as one of our most experienced players, it was a hindrance and a shame to see such an incredible footballer struggle on the pitch.
United have been open to selling Casemiro this season. They won’t stand in his way of a move to Saudi Arabia, or any club willing to pay the price for his signature. It may be worth visiting the NJ online sports betting sites if you know where Casemiro will be playing his football next season.
However, the player himself has not indicated that he is pushing for an Old Trafford exit, despite calls from some pundits that he is now too old for the highest level.
“I feel very well, very well,” Casemiro said earlier this summer. “I’m really well, I feel healthy, with energy and the same mentality I always had.
“I guess people end up talking about the age factor, but it’s been proven. Recently, our friend Thiago Silva, at the age of 39 coming here and showing that, yes, you can play. The previous Ballon d’Or winners were over 34.
“At Man City, there’s Kevin De Bruyne. [Mohamed] Salah at Liverpool. I think age is not an issue, it is not a factor in this, but analysing one’s game and knowing about everything that is happening around the game.
“These are people who analyse football well, who see what’s happening, who know what’s happening, analysing not the age.
“But I’m well, I’m happy, living every day I get to play here. As I usually say, Manchester United gave me what I wanted. This joy of being able to enjoy the game, enjoy the Premier League.
“So, I’m happy to be here at Manchester United and enjoying the game.”
Romano’s latest update claims Casemiro’s exit remains a concrete possibility this summer.
The Italian reporter adds that Saudi Pro League clubs are still in contact with his camp to discuss terms, with United open to letting him leave.
United will look to use the funds they receive for Casemiro to sign a new midfielder.
PSG midfielder linked with Manchester United move
Manuel Ugarte is a 23-year-old defensive midfielder who is currently contracted to PSG but could be set to depart the French capital this summer.
The Uruguayan is currently impressing at the Copa America and he featured fairly regularly in the Parisians’ side last season, making 37 appearances in all competitions with 25 of those being in Ligue 1.
It has been reported that Erik ten Hag is a big fan of Ugarte.
