Fabrizio Romano has shared an update on Casemiro’s future at Manchester United.
Manchester United oversaw a massive squad overhaul in the summer, sacking several first-team players to raise money and cut wages.
The club continues to make financially motivated decisions as they look to further reduce wages.
Man United are involved in contract negotiations with Harry Maguire and want to extend his contract with the club, but only if he agrees to a pay cut.
Another player whose contract expires this summer is Casemiro, and no signs of a new contract have yet been offered.
Casemiro could leave Manchester United next summer
According to Fabrizio Romano, the situation surrounding the Brazilian’s future remains strange, as there have been no negotiations on a new contract from the club side.
This has led to a lot of uncertainty surrounding the player. Romano added that while nothing is guaranteed, there is a “concrete chance” that United and Casemiro could part ways if an agreement is not reached soon.
Speaking about the latest episode of the Here We Go podcastCasemiro said:
“It’s a strange situation for Casemiro because he is still a very important player for Manchester United. A very important starter for Ruben Amorim and one of the most important players in the dressing room.”
“Casemiro’s status is not just about performance, but he is a serial winner. His trophy cabinet speaks for him. The leadership of this player is incredible and the strength in terms of trophies and experience of this player.”
“So he is still a starter, but at the moment there are no negotiations to extend his contract. There is a feeling among those close to the club that Casemiro could leave in the summer of 2026 after rejecting very important financial proposals in recent years, especially from Saudi Arabia.”
“It is still not guaranteed that Casemiro and United will part ways, but there is a concrete chance that they will part ways in the summer as they have not yet started discussing a new contract with Casemiro.”
Casemiro’s mixed time at Manchester United
The Brazilian joined Manchester United in 2022 from Real Madrid in a stunning move.
Since joining from Real Madrid in 2022, Casemiro has been a talismanic figure for Manchester United and has quickly established himself as a key player in midfield.
He helped the side win the League Cup and qualify for the Champions League in his debut season, scoring seven goals in all competitions.
He later experienced a dip in form, which resulted in heavy criticism from fans and pundits, but the arrival of Ruben Amorim saw him return to his old form and become a key player for the Portuguese manager.
He was a regular starter for the Amorim team this season. He played six games in the Premier League, scoring one, taking his totals for the club to 18 goals and 12 assists in 121 appearances in all competitions.
