According to a report published on Wednesday by The Sun, the esteemed Brazilian midfielder Casemiro remains intent on prolonging his professional journey within European football, despite his imminent departure from Manchester United this upcoming summer.
Having recently announced that his contract with Manchester United will expire in June, the 34-year-old athlete has conveyed to his close circle of confidants a firm belief in his capability to maintain competition at an elite level elsewhere on the continent.
The media has speculated on a potential move to the United States, specifically to Inter Miami, a club that boasts the presence of the Argentine legend Lionel Messi. This conjecture gained traction following Casemiro’s family vacation in Florida, including air travel to Miami during a 13-day respite between Manchester United fixtures. Adding to the intrigue, Casemiro’s wife, Ana, was recently spotted in Las Vegas earlier this month.
European Prospects and Financial Considerations
Notwithstanding the allure of the American league, Casemiro retains a familial residence in Madrid and harbors a preference for continuing his career within Europe. Insiders privy to the midfielder’s deliberations have identified Italy as a plausible destination, inspired in part by the recent transfer of his former Real Madrid teammate, Luka Modrić, who joined AC Milan the previous summer.
Meanwhile, Manchester United has reportedly explored opportunities to transfer Casemiro to clubs within the Saudi Professional League. However, negotiations have been complicated by his substantial weekly wage of £350,000, which has served as a significant impediment to potential deals.
