While the new era of the Erik ten Hag version of Manchester United seems well underway, the Mancunian club could already part with one of its biggest investments of last seasons. Arriving from Real Madrid for a sum of 60 million euros, Casemiro quickly made his mark at Old Trafford and established himself as a pillar of the team.
However, at 31 years old, the Brazilian midfielder could be the subject of certain desires from Saudi Arabia. Indeed, according to information from TalkSport, the next minority owner of Manchester United, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, would be open to discussions for a possible transfer of the player. The aim would be to free up cash to carry out the reconstruction of the club.

The financial reasons at the heart of this possible transfer
Casemiro is one of the highest paid players in the Mancunian squad. His departure could therefore allow new money to be injected into the team. Although he has become an essential element in the proper functioning of the collective, management would be ready to let him leave in exchange for a satisfactory offer.
Some Saudi big names like Al-Hilal or Al-Nassr could try their luck. Casemiro still has good years ahead of him and his status as five-time European champion with Real Madrid would guarantee him a good position wherever he decides to go.
