Manchester United linked with surprise move for Real Madrid star Casemiro
The Real Madrid midfielder has been identified as one of the club’s potential targets as Erik ten Hag looks to add more reinforcements in the midfield unit.
According to multiple reports emanating from England, Manchester United are linked with surprise move for Real Madrid midfielder Casemiro.
He has been with Real since 2013, having signed for the club from São Paulo for 6 million euros. His current deal expires in 2025.
The midfielder finished the 2021/22 season with a tally of one goal and four assists from 48 matches across all competitions.
The 30-year-old is considered to be one of the best midfielders in Brazil. His record for Brazil is impressive. Casemiro has scored five goals in 63 matches for Brazil at senior level.
His performances have seen him become the target of many European clubs including Manchester United.
Erik ten Hag wants to sign a new midfielder and Casemiro is one of the names at the top of his wishlist. Ten Hag is a known admirer of the player and is reportedly keen on the idea of bringing him this summer.
The former São Paulo man will add a new dimension to Manchester United’s midfield.
According to the report, “Manchester United are firming up interest in Real Madrid midfielder Casemiro. Marca says United officials are in Madrid this week for talks with Real and Atletico Madrid over several targets. That includes Casemiro, though as yet no offer has been tabled. The Brazil international has in the past been attracted to United and came close to moving to Old Trafford several years ago. United are in need for a new midfield addition and Casemiro has emerged as a potential signing prospect before the summer market shuts.”
