Manchester United are heading into financial issues as the club are running in losses. Therefore, they will look to make some major sales in the upcoming transfer window to balance the books. Moreover, Ruben Amorim wants to rebuild his side after some disappointing performances in the ongoing season.
While they are looking at players in the transfer market whom they can sign, there are some players whom Amorim does not consider anymore as part of their plans. One such player is the defensive midfielder Casmreiro.
Casemiro wants to leave Manchester United
Caught Offside has reported that the Brazilian is going to leave the club in the transfer window and United are looking to make at least €30 million from his sale. He was one of the best defensive midfielders during his prime in his tenure at Real Madrid, helping the club win three Champions League trophies on the trot.
Casemiro Manchester United
He was instrumental in the 2022/23 season for the Red Devils but hasn’t put up consistent performances during the ongoing season. Casemiro has scored one goal in 18 matches so far in the Premier League 2024/2025 season. He has been part of just 1101 minutes and has an xG of 1.3. So, these stats aren’t convincing for the player.
However, his quality has still attracted the attention of clubs from Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Brazil, and the MLS. He is a defensive powerhouse with tactical brilliance. Renowned for his physicality, he dominates duels and shields the backline with aggressive tackling and superb positioning.
Should the Red Devils let him leave?
Casemiro’s height aids in winning aerial battles, while his anticipation disrupts opposition plays, making him a midfield anchor. Beyond defending, Casemiro’s underrated passing range—short and long—helps launch attacks, though his mobility has slightly waned.
His powerful shooting from distance adds an offensive threat, often delivering in clutch moments. With leadership forged at Real Madrid, he brings composure and grit, excelling in high-stakes games as a relentless team enforcer.

Although the clubs from the above-stated leagues are interested in him, Casemiro does not want to lower his wages. So, United might need to reduce their asking amount from €30 million.
However, it will still be a good sale for the club given that the midfielder is no longer in the plan of Amorim and he also wants to leave Old Trafford. The summer transfer window will reveal in detail where Casemiro finally lands, but he definitely has impacted games in his short tenure at the Old Trafford.
