Galatasaray, the Turkish side, is reportedly interested in acquiring Manchester United midfielder Casemiro. The club is actively looking to bolster their midfield options and have identified the Brazilian as a potential target for the upcoming season.
Casemiro’s future at Old Trafford seems to be hanging in the balance following his disappointing performance in a recent match against Liverpool. The 32-year-old midfielder was substituted at half-time after committing costly errors that led to Liverpool’s goals. With the arrival of Manuel Ugarte, Casemiro’s position as a regular starter is now under threat.
Despite still having two years left on his contract and being one of the highest-paid players at Manchester United, Casemiro’s hefty salary demands could prove to be a stumbling block in any potential move to Galatasaray. A loan agreement might be contingent on United covering a portion of his wages.
With the transfer window in Turkey set to close on September 13, Galatasaray has a limited time frame to finalize any deal for Casemiro. The club has already secured a loan deal for Victor Osimhen from Napoli and are actively looking to strengthen their squad for the upcoming season.
Manchester United is in the process of restructuring their wage bill by offloading high-earning players. The likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, David de Gea, Anthony Martial, Raphaël Varane, and Jadon Sancho have all been moved on as the club looks to trim their expenses.
Galatasaray’s interest in Casemiro could provide the Brazilian midfielder with a fresh start and a chance to revive his career. However, financial considerations and United’s willingness to facilitate a potential deal will play a crucial role in determining whether the move comes to fruition. With the clock ticking towards the end of the transfer window, it remains to be seen if Galatasaray can secure the services of Casemiro for the upcoming season.
