Casemiro

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.

Nice were also keen on Edinson Cavani but the ex-Man Utd striker is holding out for a move to La Liga. Erik ten Hag would prefer Hakim Ziyech and the United boss is said to have been pushing the board hard for the Chelsea winger. Atletico are rather more happy to palm Antoine Griezmann off on the Red Devils, with The Times reporting that the France star may be offered in exchange for Cristiano Ronaldo. L’Equipe says John Murtough and Richard Arnold are ‘listening’ and may be willing to move if Chelsea’s asking price is reasonable. The Telegraph are among a number of outlets reporting that Casemiro is the next midfielder on United’s list and they could offer Real Madrid £50million for the 30-year-old. All that according to The Athletic’s David Ornstein.

Of course, he feels loved at Real Madrid and that also counts. Nobody doubts what Casemiro has achieved.

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.

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 are hell-bent on making a marquee midfield summer signing...

The report claims United are willing to submit a bid worth around £67million to sign Casemiro in the final stages of the window. Casemiro's arrival wouldn't fail to excite, though, and would undoubtedly sweeten a largely disappointing summer of transfer business. Such wages would propel Casemiro to the club's third-highest earner after Cristiano Ronaldo and David de Gea. He identified the midfield as a problem position during his interview for the job. But United's summer transfer window has plunged into chaos, and they are now scrambling to back the Dutchman with just two weeks remaining. The Red Devils' audacious pursuit of Casemiro emerged after contract talks with Juventus' Adrien Rabiot broke down over his demands earlier this week.

MANCHESTER UNITED and Chelsea are again linked with the same transfer target.

The Blues still view United as a rival and do not want to be seen to strengthen Ten Hag's squad. But it appears they will have to look elsewhere from the 23-year-old. Owner Todd Boehly is thinking about making a move for the 30-year-old. The Blues are reportedly interested in signing [Real Madrid](/latest/real-madrid-fc) midfielder Casemiro, and will also block United's interest in Christian Pulisic. Casemiro emerged as a target for the Red Devils earlier this week. [Transfer news LIVE: Man Utd close to fourth signing, Chelsea agreement](/sport/football/1656211/Transfer-news-LIVE-Man-Utd-Moises-Caicedo-Casemiro-Matheus-Cunha-Chelsea-Cristiano-Ronaldo)

Chelsea have made solid additions to their squad during the summer transfer window. Raheem Sterling and Marc Cucurella, among others, seem like top signings.

The only slight question mark would be around Chelsea paying such a large fee for a player who has already reached the age of 30. However, the report suggests that [Chelsea](https://www.teamtalk.com/chelsea) have been looking at the star for a longer period. However, he has performed consistently for years, and nothing over the past season or so has suggested that will stop any time soon. Should they land him, Casemiro would be a great addition to the Chelsea side. Chelsea are keen on Real Madrid star Casemiro per reports, and they could snatch him from the Spanish side with a big offer. They are targeting a big name to help them ascend the table, too.

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.

Chelsea have made solid additions to their squad during the summer transfer window. Raheem Sterling and Marc Cucurella, among others, seem like top signings.

Brazil midfielder mulling over United offer that dwarfs his Real Madrid contract.

One key factor is if Casemiro feels that he’s going to be a key starter for Madrid in the next two or three years, as he is now. “Case is already a coach,” a friend of the player told El Pais recently. But in this case, United have made the approach for a player they think will bring balance. Tchouameni is going to learn a lot and is going to improve a lot with Casemiro”. Rodrygo, his compatriot at Madrid, thinks Casemiro helped change the image of Brazilian footballers being lazy. Now, Casemiro is the subject of United’s attention. The player, an international colleague of United midfielder Fred, is obsessed by tactics and self-improvement. Ancelotti even apologised to him for getting him wrong in his first spell in Madrid, when he loaned the player to Porto. [the 25-year-old has shown no inclination to join United](https://www.thenationalnews.com/sport/football/2022/08/08/man-united-and-barca-keen-to-complete-frenkie-de-jong-deal-but-dutchman-not-ready-to-leave/) and has always preferred to stay at Barca. Casemiro is at his best alongside Toni Kroos, 32, and Luca Modric, who turns 37 next month - the base in Madrid’s Bermuda triangle. United’s offer is believed to be substantially more than his current deal and his contract would run for four years. The 63-cap Brazil international has been perfectly happy at Madrid, where he has an excellent relationship with manager Carlo Ancelotti, who considers him one of his main allies in the dressing room.

MANCHESTER UNITED are keen on signing Casemiro from Real Madrid before the transfer window slams shut.

[Erik ten Hag](/latest/erik-ten-hag) remains hopeful of landing Frenkie de Jong from Barcelona. As well as Casemiro, United also want to sign a new forward before the transfer window shuts.

Certainly, his agents are “aware” of United’s interest and are “not quashing it,” with the player yet to decide.

During the same spell, United have won the Premier League once, the Europa League, the League Cup, and the FA Cup, with the club last winning silverware in 2017.

Erik ten Hag turned his attention to the five-time Champions League winner after growing frustrated by the failure to sign Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong.

The move for Casemiro is expected to spark a flurry of activity from Manchester United in the final days of the transfer window. The Brazilian, though, doesn't want to mull over the decision for too long as a final decision is expected soon. The move for Casemiro was originally described as a "long shot" from Manchester United insiders - but such has been the rapid progress this week that there is now strong belief he will head to Old Trafford.

Manchester United have now reportedly agreed personal terms with Real Madrid midfielder and Brazilian international, Casemiro of a new report is to be ...

Casemiro is regarded as one of the best holding midfielders in the world and United’s plan to lure him to Old Trafford would be to offer him a much improved contract. The Brazilian midfielder is said to be open to a move and wants a new challenge having won so much at Real Madrid in the past few years. Manchester United have now reportedly agreed personal terms with Real Madrid midfielder and Brazilian international, Casemiro of a new report is to be believed, the player would receive a large wage increase.

That's a financially interesting proposal, perhaps even enough to negate doubts surrounding United's sporting prowess. They finished sixth in the Premier League ...

They believe the 30-year-old Brazilian would strengthen their midfield greatly and are prepared to spend a lot of money to tempt him away from the Santiago Bernabeu. What’s more, they’re currently rock-bottom of the table after two games. They finished sixth in the Premier League last season and will be playing Europa League football this season.

It was claimed that the Spanish side believes Casemiro's exit is imminent following Manchester United's interest in a world-class Defensive Midfielder.

It was stated that they are convinced at Real Madrid that the Brazilian Midfielder has already made a decision. Nevertheless, this is something that has not happened yet. The economic demands will also need to be satisfied by Manchester United for the transfer move to happen.

Real Madrid have been handed a Casemiro worry, with the Brazilian midfielder being linked with a move to Manchester United.

Casemiro already has a couple of former teammates at Manchester United in Cristiano Ronaldo and Raphael Varane, who are not having the best of times. Casemiro is an absolute Real Madrid legend and often does not get the credit that he deserves. Yet, there could potentially be a late twist in this summer transfer window, as the Brazilian is being linked with a move to Manchester United.

CASEMIRO has reportedly emerged as a priority target for Manchester United in the middle of the park.

However, it seems as though Casemiro has emerged as the chosen one and it remains to be seen whether a full agreement can be reached in the not-too-distant future. United are said to have stepped up their pursuit of Casemiro after missing out on the signing of Adrien Rabiot, who was recently in talks with the club but is not expected to join Erik ten Hag's squad as a result of his exorbitant wage demands. Ancelotti's admiration for the player could potentially spell trouble with regards to United's hopes of snapping him up over the next few days, though. United were previously left frustrated in their efforts to sign Frenkie de Jong from Barcelona before pulling out of a move for Rabiot earlier this month over the Frenchman's lucrative salary expectations. He carries the ball well but he doesn’t have Casemiro’s tactical ability, I’ve never had a pivot like him." But other players can play as a pivot.

The south coast side needed a replacement for Armando Broja, who returned to Chelsea after his loan deal expired, and Ramos could be available for £25m. Paper Round’s view: After failing to sell De Jong, Barcelona have managed to unsettle one of their most valuable assets going into the new season. Paper Round’s view: Casemiro would be a giant upgrade on every single midfielder that Manchester United have had since Paul Scholes retired, but as the Mail reports, United need to go further than that.

[After a summer of failed signings](https://www.sportingnews.com/au/soccer/news/man-united-transfer-news-latest-signings-loan-deals/ocsp2odnscrkmmoookwnxosz), Manchester United have finally landed a new star.

Man United have turned their attention to signing Real Madrid's Casemiro and the midfielder would be a brilliant addition.

[McTominay](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/all-about/scott-mctominay) and Fred on all passing metrics, with the exception of comparing successful key passes with the latter. There is a feeling that Casemiro's representative might be using United as a negotiation tactic for an improved salary for his client, but supporters will be hoping that is not the case. [Comparisonator](https://comparisonator.com/) is a football data comparison tool from 271 professional leagues around the world which compares players and clubs by utilising over 100 different parameters. The amount of ball recoveries he makes also catches the eye when comparing him to McTominay and Fred, although the pair hardly set a high standard. United desperately need a defensive midfielder and they would be signing one of Europe's finest players in that position, despite him being in the latter stage of his career. Casemiro would immediately improve Erik ten Hag's side and he would bring some much-needed balance as the anchor of a three-man midfield. Casemiro averaged 8.1 ball recoveries per 90 last term and that's just under double of what McTominay (4.9) and Fred (5.2) recorded in the Premier League. The interest in Casemiro has seemingly emerged from nowhere and that has been a feature of the summer. Casemiro has been world-class in defensive midfielder during his nine years spent with Real Madrid. So, why would he want to leave Madrid? Those will have to negate Thursday night matches against teams like Lech Poznan. Christian Eriksen, who has been the only midfield addition, cost nothing.
