Manchester United are in a position to quickly clean up Casemiro.

European transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano reported on his personal SNS on the 1st (Korea time) that `Casemiro, as well as Christian Eriksen and Victor Lindelof, could leave Manchester United in January or summer transfer market.'

Casemiro was recognized by Real Madrid as the world's best defensive midfielder. He spent his best years forming Real's midfield triangle with Toni Kroos and Luca Modric. Casemiro, who had been very good at Real, left Real Madrid for Manchester United in the 2022-2023 season.

When Manchester United decided to invest 58 million pounds (about 106 billion won) in transfer fees at the time and pay 350,000 pounds (about 650 million won) per week alone, some criticized it as 'Overpay'. However, Casemiro's presence after moving to Manchester United was great. He jumped to the core of Manchester United by implementing Erik ten Hag's soccer well in the midfield. He also led the team to win the Carabao Cup in the first year of his transfer and received a lot of love from Manchester United fans.

The problem has been since last season. Casemiro became a hole in Manchester United's midfield as his skills suddenly deteriorated. Casemiro became a burden due to not only basic pass-miss but also decreased mobility. As a result, Manchester United has attempted to sell Casemiro since last summer, but no suitable offer has emerged.

Casemiro is still not performing well this season. Considering the enormous transfer fee and the weekly salary Casemiro is receiving, there are continuous major losses. As a result, Manchester United has established a position that it can sell Casemiro even in the middle of the season.

Romano explained "Manchester United have to sell players to get new players, and Casemiro is still available for sale if there is a good offer."

Currently, Manchester United is having a difficult time as its performance deteriorates even after replacing it with head coach Hoobeng Amorim. It seems that Amorim plans to recruit the players he wants in the winter transfer market by boldly hitting players who are excluded from Amorim's plan, including Casemiro.

However, it is not easy to dispose of high-paid employees such as Casemiro. Except for Saudi Arabian clubs, no other club is expected to take Casemiro. You also have to pay a transfer fee to take Casemiro now.
