Every single week, £350,000 is drained from Manchester United’s salary budget, for the player who in 2025 will have had 18 minutes on the match ground. Casemiro is history in United’s first eleven under Ruben Amorim, but the wage deal has put an end to all attempts so far to sign the Brazilian. Now comes an update on the process, just four days before the market window closes.
Will Manchester United be able to use the gigantic salary to bring in and pay the necessary reinforcements? Transfer journalist Florian Plettenberg reports that hard work is being done in the Casemiro camp to succeed in giving his client playing time and club in relation to the Brazilian’s desire for the next step in his career.
-Casemiro’s departure remains a realistic scenario until Deadline Day. Different markets are being explored and concrete talks with interested clubs are ongoing. Plettenberg reports on earlier twitter with information from his network.
Sky Sports reported this week that AS Roma see a huge opportunity for Casemiro signing, Plettenberg confirms Roma are still working to land a deal with Manchester United and the defensive midfielder.
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 to repeat the success with Casemiro.
Casemiro needs playing time, Manchester United need space in the wage budget, there is intense work for Casemiro’s agent, there is contact with several clubs on different continents. Four days before the market close, all parties are set for a solution, this definitely looks like Casemiro is history at Manchester United from February 4.
