Casemiro has already confirmed his Manchester United exit and he has also agreed to waive one of the clauses in his current contract.
It was confirmed back in January that Casemiro will leave Manchester United in the summer when his contract expires.
The Brazilian is bowing out in fashion, with Casemiro enjoying his highest-scoring season in his career to date.
While United fans want Casemiro to stay, the 34-year-old looks set to depart, and his latest contract decision confirms it.

Casemiro agrees to cancel Man United contract clause
According to Manchester Evening News, Casemiro reached an agreement with United to cancel a clause in his contract that would have triggered a one-year extension.
There was a clause in Casemiro’s deal that would have added a year to his contract if he started 35 Premier League matches this season.
Casemiro has already started 28 Premier League matches this season, only missing two games through suspension and coming on as a substitute once against Manchester City.

The Brazilian has started in every match under Michael Carrick this season.
