Man United to sell Casemiro at ‘huge’ loss now his ‘legs have gone’ – sources
Man United are willing to sell Casemiro at a “huge” loss this summer, sources have told Football Insider.
Saudi clubs are in regular contact with Casemiro’s camp over a potential transfer, according to sources.
Man United originally bought the defensive midfielder for £70million, but they have told him he’s free to find a new club.
The 32-year-old is one of the highest earners at United, and the club are looking to get him off the wage bill in this window.
United coaches believe that Casemiro’s “legs have gone,” and sources at the club are convinced he can no longer cope with the pace of the Premier League.
A deal is likely to happen before the window shuts this summer, bringing an end to his two-year spell at Old Trafford.
Man United are in talks over Casemiro transfer
The experienced midfielder is under a long-term contract at United, with his deal expiring in June 2026.
Casemiro featured 32 times for United last season, scoring five goals and creating three assists.
However, the Brazilian did come under heavy criticism throughout the 2023-24 campaign from fans and pundits alike due to his performances.
Casemiro isn’t the only first-team player that Erik ten Hag is open to losing this summer, though.
