According to talkSPORT, Casemiro has changed his mind and is now amenable to relocating to Saudi Arabia. Despite strong interest from Saudi Pro League team Al Ittihad, who were hesitant to pay the £70 million Manchester United demanded, the Brazilian was opposed to leaving last summer. The high price was comparable to what the Red Devils paid to acquire Casemiro from Real Madrid in 2022 in an attempt to avoid suffering a significant loss on the transaction.
But according to sources, Saudi negotiators think Casemiro might be had for as little as €30 million (£24.9 million). The ideal team to try to sign Casemiro seems to be Al Nassr, who have Cristiano Ronaldo, Sadio Mane, and Marcelo Brozovic in their lineup. Al Nassr is prepared to go because the Saudi Pro League’s TV rights are up for renewal later this year and should deliver a significant financial gain to all clubs.

However, Saudi negotiators reportedly believe that Casemiro might be purchased for as little as €30 million (£24.9 million). Al Nassr appears to be the best team to try to get Casemiro because of their lineup, which includes Sadio Mane, Marcelo Brozovic, and Cristiano Ronaldo. Since the Saudi Pro League’s TV rights are up for renewal later this year and should greatly boost earnings for all clubs, Al Nassr is ready to make the move.
Ronaldo wants to reunite with his former teammate, even though their time together at United was short and fruitless. Because they are so eager to get a deal, it is believed that Al Nassr would be prepared to place Casemiro among the top five highest-paid players in the league. The 32-year-old, who makes an estimated £350,000 a week, is among United’s top-paid figures. A weekly salary of approximately £650,000 is thought to be within Casemiro’s grasp if he relocates to Saudi Arabia. Additionally, it is believed that Casemiro declined an alluring $4 million (£3.2 million) signing bonus to join Al Ittihad in the summer of last year.
