Manchester United Reportedly Rejected a €70m Saudi Offer For Casemiro Last Summer But Might Be Open To Selling Him This Summer

Reports in Spanish media indicate that an undisclosed Saudi club bid €70m for Manchester United midfielder Casemiro but the English club rejected the offer. However, with his misfortunes with injuries, red cards, and inconsistent form, United may be looking to cash in the summer.

At the end of last season, Casemiro was one of the most important squad players in the Manchester United team. His signing brought a semblance of stability in the midfield, allowing the team to gain better control of matches.

Things have been different this season, with the Brazilian struggling to keep up with the pace of the Premier League. Additionally, football operations at Manchester United are now under the control of Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who is looking to trim expenses. Casemiro is a low-hanging fruit, given his age and high wages.

The conditions are right for Casemiro to consider his next move, with the possibility that the new owners will be looking for a younger, faster player to fill the gap at central midfield. The emergence of Kobbie Mainoo will also give him pause to think about playing time should the club sign an attacking midfielder and move the youngster to defensive midfield.
