Manchester United have had Antony removed from their wage budget (covering “only” 16% on loan to Real Betis), but are left with Marcus Rashford and Casemiro, the real kings of the wage hierarchy. It is reported that Ronaldo is pushing for his club in Saudi Arabian football to sign Real Madrid mate Casemiro, but still no deal is in place. Now a new club is signing up to sign the Brazilian. They have particularly good experience in bringing in redundant United veterans.
It is about AS Roma. According to Sky Sports, the Italian club have seen an opening, with Casemiro stuck on the bench at Amorim, while no transfer for the Brazilian has materialized.
The English media reports Roma have now contacted Manchester United, where all the necessary information to reach an agreement on the loan of Casemiro has been given to the Serie A club.
The information has clearly not scared away AS Roma, Leandro Paredes is sold to Boca Juniors in the coming days, the basis for a potential Casemiro transfer is supposedly in place.
We remember well when Roma brought in Chris Smalling from Manchester United on loan in 2019. The centre-back was convincing from the start, got a permanent transfer a few months later and played a total of 155 games in the Roma shirt. Now the Serie A club is getting ready for Casemiro.
