Casemiro

Marca report Manchester United have expressed interest in Real Madrid midfielder Casemiro, a five time Champions League winner.

At 30, he still has plenty more left to offer and should not be considered over the hill. At the weekend Casemiro was on the bench for Real’s opening game of the season, playing only the final seven minutes of a 2-1 win over Almeria. A move for Casemiro would be an audacious swoop and a fantastic one if the Red Devils can pull it off.

Casemiro is now at the centre of Manchester United's focus as a deal for Adrien Rabiot is set to collapse, but the Brazilian could cost upwards of £50m even ...

Ten Hag needs reinforcements, and United need an answer, but with only two weeks left in the summer window their time is running out. The old-school midfield trio of Toni Kroos, Luka Modric and Casemiro is due to come to an abrupt end at some point, but Madrid are already prepared with Aurelien Tchouameni, Eduardo Camavinga and Fede Valverde ready and waiting. But their inability to do so this summer just goes to show how far they have fallen. But this summer has been particularly alarming, and also damaging to their reputation. The 30-year-old was vital in Madrid's double-winning season that saw them lift both the La Liga title and the Champions League. Rabiot is represented by his mother Veronique, and not only was she supposedly not keen on Manchester as a destination, she's driving a hard bargain over a potential package for her son.

MANCHESTER UNITED are turning to Casemiro as their latest midfield transfer target.

United have laboured to 2-1 defeats to Brighton and a 4-0 thrashing at Brentford in their first two matches of the new Premier League season. Casemiro is more of a ball-winning No 6 than the technical pass master De Jong but his arrival would no doubt ease the frustrations of Ten Hag. And so Casemiro, who the Red Devils believe to be in the same calibre as De Jong, is the new top option. [Manchester United](/latest/manchester-united-fc) are convinced that Casemiro is a similarly elite player to Frenkie de Jong, according to reports. United have identified the £50million-rated 30-year-old as an ideal candidate to anchor their midfield under Ten Hag. A move to United seems highly unlikely.

Man United are targeting Real Madrid midfielder Casemiro in a bid to strengthen Erik ten Hag's squad.

Although the thought of United being brave enough to deploy a 4-1-4-1 system at the moment, certainly on current form, is not a pretty one, it is a system, over time, that Casemiro could feature in if Erik ten Hag was prepared to use it. That approach would leave United with two more midfield positions to fill, both of which would be attack-minded. Casemiro, however, would be a suitable alternative to the Dutchman if United can make it happen, as he would offer the bite and aggression that they are sorely lacking in midfield. Casemiro would be United's holding midfielder, offering a much-needed layer of protection to the defensive rearguard. That would leave Eriksen and Fernandes squabbling for the advanced-midfield berth, operating as the No.10 behind the lone striker. It is currently unclear if the 30-year-old would be open to moving to Old Trafford or whether his representative is using United in a bid to increase Casemiro's salary.

CASEMIRO has reportedly emerged as a shock target for Manchester United.

Despite having agreed a £15million deal with Juventus for Rabiot, United are understood to have since cooled their interest on that front. While United are thought to consider the signing of the Brazilian a 'long shot', they are believed to have been given encouragement that a deal could take place. United may also have seen their chances of landing the 63-time Brazil international boosted by the fact the defensive midfielder seemingly faces a battle on his hands to retain his starting spot at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Of course, he feels loved at Real Madrid and that also counts. Nobody doubts what Casemiro has achieved. He knows, however, that he has the backing of the Real Madrid fans, the coach, the club and his teammates during this process. He'll have to consider the absence of Champions League football this season and what it would mean to be out of a competition that is part of his daily life. There is a lot of money involved and now it is time to think thoroughly before making a decision, something Casemiro is doing as he is considering the idea.

However, Real Madrid will need a better offer to let Casemiro go, club sources told Managing Madrid. Casemiro’s contract expires in the summer of 2025 and he’s 30 years old, so an extension will not be needed either.

Man United target Casemiro has won the Champions League five times for Real Madrid during his nine years at the club.

Overall, FM22 suggests that Casemiro could become a key player for United, regularly starting in their midfield and helping improve the side. The Reds scored eight more goals and conceded 12 fewer goals with Casemiro in midfield, highlighting his impact. Ten Hag's side were four points behind Tottenham in fourth and 10 behind champions Liverpool - not the biggest gap in the world. Although it still wasn't enough for a spot in the top four, as Ten Hag's side finished fifth in the Premier League, they were much closer to their rivals. To set up this simulation, we used the Football Manager 2022 editor to arrange for Casemiro to join United from Real Madrid, using FM22 to run the simulation. So, if United were to make a move for Casemiro this summer, how could the Brazilian impact Ten Hag's side?

The Brazilian started the game against Eintracht Frankfurt last week and helped his side to a 2-0 win. [The Red Devils were willing to double the veteran’s wages](https://madriduniversal.com/casemiro-considering-manchester-united-offer-as-his-salary-will-double-report/) which would come to a figure of €430,000 per week. The report claims that Casemiro has not closed the door on a departure from Madrid this summer, contrary to reports. This is not surprising considering the poor management and performance of Manchester United this season. The arrival of Aurelien Tchouameni signals competition for the defensive midfield position. [COPE](https://twitter.com/partidazocope/status/1559926616721178624?s=21&t=QvrcZwcLlwPhd5KPLcrD6Q), the Brazilian midfielder has no intention of leaving Real Madrid and is not even considering a move away from the Bernabeu.

Manchester United have set a date to complete the signing of Casemiro from La Liga giants Real Madrid.

Manchester United have their eye on five signings, including Real Madrid midfielder Casemiro, while Everton want Adnan Januzaj, and Naby Keita could leave.

Paper Round’s view: None of these players were being mentioned much a week ago, let alone a month, which demonstrates just how poorly United have planned for the transfer window.

And the Red Devils have submitted an enquiry to Real Madrid, who might not be open to selling the 30-year-old. [emerged as an alternative for Manchester United](http://www.thehardtackle.com/transfer-news/2022/08/17/manchester-united-considering-casemiro-move/), with the Brazilian midfield powerhouse an upgrade on Rabiot. The Red Devils have approached Real Madrid for the Brazilian midfield powerhouse while offering him a five-year contract to boot. Shoring up the holding midfield slot had to be a priority for the Red Devils, with Matic leaving a gaping hole at Old Trafford despite his advancing age. But with the Dutch midfielder uninterested in leaving Barcelona, Manchester United set sights on Adrien Rabiot,

CASEMIRO is Manchester United's new transfer target as they look to sign new players in midfield.

He may not be the greatest of ball-carriers and his passing may not always be progressive - a huge reason Erik ten Hag wants De Jong - but how United would benefit from his energy, defensive intelligence and ability to disrupt opposition attacks. Ndidi would not come cheap, of course, but there's a possibility Leicester might be tempted for around £40million or so, which they could then reinvest. Ndidi could win the ball back and set off the likes of Eriksen, Bruno Fernandes and Jadon Sancho. The 47-cap Nigerian international's durability has come into question in the last couple of seasons but when fit, Ndidi is one of the best tacklers and intercepters in the Premier League. Certainly he would be a fine signing and offers qualities the Red Devils sorely lack in the middle of the park. Since his debut in 2017, Ndidi has established himself as one of the best ball-winners in the division and is seriously adept at breaking up play.

Adrien Rabiot's proposed move to Manchester United is in severe doubt, GOAL can confirm, as the club has turned their focus towards a sensational transfer ...

Manchester United are understood to accept the fact that the five-time Champions League winner is an ambitious target.

GOAL understands that a move for the Brazil international is seen as a long shot, but Casemiro is still among the options drawn up by Erik ten Hag as he attempts to overhaul his midfield.
