Despite being a vital starter under Ten Hag, United is ‘attempting to find a buyer’ for the big earner.
United are trying to get rid of Casemiro this summer, even though he has been a constant in Erik ten Hag’s starting lineup.
Since his arrival at Old Trafford in 2022, the Brazilian has played an essential part in the team. When he is healthy, he starts.
However, Casemiro’s performances have been scrutinised several times this season due to supporters pointing out how slow and off-kilter he seems while facing off against such prolific attackers.
Even though they have vastly different levels of expertise, 19-year-old Kobbie Mainoo has often had to step in and fix his older counterpart’s blunders or cover for him.
There aren’t many, if any, performances this season that have justified Casemiro’s eye-watering £350,000 per week, which puts him in the top tier of United’s best earners.
As the club’s new co-owner, Sir Jim Ratcliffe is supposedly keen on reducing the initial salary expenditure and then stopping the absurd contract offers that have plagued the club for the last decade.
According to TeamTalk, the Reds are allegedly “trying to find a buyer” sell the 32-year-old veteran midfielder Casemiro, who owns an impressive career and prize cabinet, suggesting that Ratcliffe is likely to begin with him.
Because no team in the Saudi Pro League would think twice about matching or even raising his wage, he is sure to attract interest from there.
He has attention from three different clubs: Al-Ahli, Al Hilal, and Al-Nassr. If he signs with Al-Nassr, he would rejoin with Cristiano Ronaldo, an ex-teammate of his.
Casemiro’s present deal is valid until 2026.
