There are soap operas which last and which last and which… last. Frenkie de Jong knows it. And then there is Casemiro. Announced this Tuesday in Manchester United’s small papers, the Real Madrid midfielder could indeed leave Spain during this summer transfer window. Unstoppable in the Madrid jersey, the 30-year-old Brazilian is, in fact, very close to joining the Red Devils.
Last in the Premier League after a catastrophic start in the league, the Mancunian club, swept away by Brentford last weekend, nevertheless remains ambitious in this transfer market. With this in mind, the Man U board continues to multiply avenues to strengthen a workforce that has already shown all its weaknesses. From Antony to Cody Gakpo via Frenkie de Jong or Malo Gusto, Manchester United is ready to ignite the end of this month of August. And the start of hostilities should also take place tomorrow.
Medical visit on Friday for Casemiro?
According to the latest information from Brand, Casemiro could, in fact, make a jump to Manchester on Friday for a medical examination! If the interested party and Florentino Pérez, the president of the Merengues, have not yet spoken about the situation as the Spanish media specifies, the operation could be done around 60 million euros.
For his part, Carlo Ancelotti considers Casemiro to be an indispensable element, but the recent arrivals of Eduardo Camavinga and Aurélien Tchouameni could lead him to review his position. One thing is certain, Manchester United seem ready to do anything to strengthen themselves. An ambition that could very quickly put an end to the historic Casemiro-Kroos-Modric trio. A golden opportunity for the former Monegasque and former Rennais, previously mentioned, to find a lasting place in the Madrid midfield. Unless Bruno Guimarães shakes up the hierarchy.
