The 32-year-old Brazilian midfielder Casemiro has decided to leave Manchester United this winter, UOL Esporte reports.
This decision was made against the backdrop of a sporting crisis at the club, which under the new coach Ruben Amorim is experiencing a deep crisis. Since Amorim's appointment, the team has undergone a shocking series of four consecutive defeats, leading to 14th place in the Premier League.
In these matches, Casemiro has often found himself on the bench and played only 320 minutes in six matches, prompting him to consider leaving. The player, who transferred from Real Madrid in 2022 for €70.7 million, has so far played 105 official matches for Manchester United, scoring 15 goals and providing 9 assists. He is being courted by major clubs from the Middle East, including Al-Nassr, Al-Ittihad, and Al-Hilal. Casemiro is still under contract until 2026 with an estimated transfer value of €13.6 million.
