Last season, the Brazilian was a key player for Erik ten Hag, scoring five goals and making three assists in 32 games. However, his performances received a lot of criticism, leading to doubts about his ability to keep up in the Premier League.
This has sparked rumors that Manchester United could sell Casemiro this summer, even though his contract runs until June 2026 with an option for an extra year. A recent report mentioned that there have been no serious offers for him, suggesting he might stay at Old Trafford for another season.
Yet, journalist Fabrizio Romano reports that there's still a "concrete possibility" Casemiro will leave. The Saudi Pro League clubs are in talks with his representatives about a potential move.
Manchester United is open to letting him go to make room for a new midfielder. If Casemiro leaves, new sporting director Dan Ashworth will need to find a replacement.
The club has been linked to several midfielders, including Manuel Ugarte from Paris Saint-Germain, Joshua Kimmich from Bayern Munich, Joao Neves from Benfica, and Morten Hjulmand from Sporting.
