Casemiro hints at Club he wants to leave Manchester United for
Casemiro is one name amongst 3 others at Old Trafford earmarked for an exit from Manchester United in the upcoming January transfer window.
The Brazilian midfielder, who made a substantial impact in his debut season after joining from Real Madrid in 2022, is reportedly eyeing a move to Bayern Munich.
The midfielder, pivotal in United’s Carabao Cup triumph last season, scoring in the final against Newcastle United, has faced challenges replicating his earlier form. Amidst this, rumors hint at a potential departure, with Manchester United reportedly open to selling the veteran player in January.
Brazilian journalist Jorge Nicola has revealed Casemiro’s purported ‘big desire’ to join Bayern Munich.
Talks have sparked speculation about a potential move involving Casemiro and Bayer Leverkusen manager Xabi Alonso to Bayern next summer. Alonso, a former teammate of Casemiro’s in Spain and now proving himself as a manager, adds to the intrigue surrounding this rumored move.
Currently in the second year of his four-year deal at Manchester United, Casemiro’s future at Old Trafford appears uncertain.
The allure of Bayern Munich’s midfield, already fortified by talents like Joshua Kimmich and Leon Goretzka, seems to be driving Casemiro’s interest in the German club.
With five Champions League titles to his name, Casemiro’s experience could be a significant asset for Bayern while providing him with an opportunity to ply his trade in the Bundesliga.
Moreover, reports suggest Casemiro is attracted by the prospect of playing in Saudi Arabia, a trend observed among several former European-based players transitioning to the Middle East.
The emergence of Kobbie Mainoo, who impressed against Everton, could potentially influence Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag’s decision in offloading the 31-year-old midfielder.
