Manchester United look set to part ways with Casemiro this summer, with the Saudi Pro League club Al Nassr interested in securing his signature.
Even if Erik ten Hag is not to remain manager of Manchester United, one of his most expensive signings in Casemiro does not appear to have a future at the club.
United may have thought they would have to take a hefty loss on the £60 million fee paid to sign him, but with Saudi sides notorious for splashing the cash on esteemed names, this may no longer be the case.
So just how much could Manchester United get for Casemiro this summer if they were to sell?
How much could Manchester United sell Casemiro for?
Saudi Pro League club Al Nassr are ready to offer around £76-85million (€90-100million) for the potential transfer of Manchester United midfielder Casemiro this summer, as reported by Caught Offside.
This would mean, remarkably, the Red Devils would actually make a profit on the 32-year-old. Money is no object to Al Nassr, as they’ve proven with previous signings and the barmy deal they offered to secure Manchester United legend Cristiano Ronaldo’s signature.
The report also states that the former Real Madrid man and five-time Champions League winner is a top target for Al Nassr, so would be willing to pay a huge fee to prise him away from Carrington.
If these are the figures that United could obtain for the veteran Brazilian, we can’t help but think the Red Devils would be inclined to snap their hand off.
Is there an option Casemiro could stay at Manchester United?
It doesn’t look likely, as a recent Tweet from ever-reliable transfer guru Fabrizio Romano confirms. He writes: “Casemiro, still expected to leave Man United in the summer in case of good proposal.
“Interest from Saudi Pro League remains active with clubs considering move for the Brazilian midfielder. First step for United: Ten Hag in or out, to be decided soon.”
It’s a shame Casemiro leaves having had a bad season in red, but it’s undeniable he isn’t the player Ten Hag brought in two years prior. Thanks for the memories, Case – but it’s time to go.
