Manchester United are preparing to say goodbye to Casemiro, and, naturally, speculation about his next move has already taken off – especially in Brazil, where every possible scenario quickly finds an audience.
The Brazilian has a contract with Manchester United only until 30 June and has already made it clear he will not remain at Old Trafford beyond that point.
Speaking on his YouTube channel, Jorge Nicola tried to separate noise from substance. While rumours have linked the midfielder with clubs in South America, Nicola explained that Casemiro’s focus is elsewhere.
He said there has been talks about a return to Brazil, with clubs like Atlético-MG, Palmeiras and his former club São Paulo among potential suitors. However, a homecoming is not on the cards for him at the moment.
According to Nicola, Casemiro’s plan is to wait for offers from European football, which remains his priority. However, there is already movement outside that scenario.
The journalist revealed that Casemiro has received an official proposal from Major League Soccer, offering a different kind of project.
The MLS club in question cannot match Casemiro’s Manchester United salary. Still, the offer is said to be competitive in other ways. It includes strong sporting guarantees and, crucially, long-term personal benefits.
Among them is the possibility of a Green Card for Casemiro and his family, alongside lifestyle and professional stability in the United States. Nicola said the player’s camp see this possibility with good eyes.
For now, patience remains the word. Europe comes first. Yet, if no suitable option appears, the MLS route is already on the table, backed by a proposal designed to appeal well beyond the pitch.
