When Casemiro made the decision to leave Madrid to join Manchester in 2022, many people were surprised. A key player for the Merengues for a while now, the Brazilian defensive midfielder wanted to offer himself a new challenge. However, far from the sun of the Spanish capital, it is more complicated for the Brazilian. Rather interesting during his first season in England, he suffered, like his entire team, the collective poor form of his team during this 2023/2024 financial year, having in addition some rather annoying physical problems.
Under contract until 2026, with an optional year, he is not satisfied with his situation as explained by the media Relevo in a long article dedicated to him. Notably because Manchester United is unable to create a serious sporting project, allowing it to claim the same titles as in Madrid. An observation that clearly frustrates him.
He knows where he wants to play
The media explains that the idea of leaving is seriously considered by the 31-year-old player. And he already has a very specific destination in mind: Saudi Arabia. It’s a destination that particularly interests him, due to the possibility of reuniting with certain former teammates, like Karim Benzema, and the financial side, obviously. He has already spoken about it with those close to him.
Just as his interest is already known to the Saudi authorities, who notably manage the transfer window of the four biggest teams in the country, namely Al-Hilal, Al-Ahli, Al-Ittihad and Al-Nassr. For their part, the leaders of the Red Devils are not closing the door, and any Saudi or other offer will be studied. We are therefore perhaps witnessing Casemiro’s last months in the football elite…
