Casemiro

Real Madrid star Casemiro has been linked with a move to Manchester United with Erik ten Hag desperate to add more quality to his midfield before the ...

All of that will be an afterthought for Ten Hag, though, as its his defensive capabilities which will appeal most to the United boss. That’s a point captured by the fact only five La Liga midfielders who played over 1000 minutes could better his progressive pass per 90 average last season (8.51). He’ll cost an expensive fee up front and his wages will be high too. However, Real signed Casemiro’s potential long-term successor, Aurelien Tchouameni, for £80million earlier in the summer. Barcelona star Frenkie de Jong has been the club’s primary target for much of the summer, but as that saga drags on, they have started turning their attention to other options. A £15million fee for Adrien Rabiot was agreed with Juventus last week, although personal terms have not yet been finalised.

Marca report Manchester United have expressed interest in Real Madrid midfielder Casemiro, a five time Champions League winner.

At 30, he still has plenty more left to offer and should not be considered over the hill. At the weekend Casemiro was on the bench for Real’s opening game of the season, playing only the final seven minutes of a 2-1 win over Almeria. A move for Casemiro would be an audacious swoop and a fantastic one if the Red Devils can pull it off.

Adrien Rabiot's proposed move to Manchester United is in severe doubt, GOAL can confirm, as the club has turned their focus towards a sensational transfer ...

Manchester United are understood to accept the fact that the five-time Champions League winner is an ambitious target.

GOAL understands that a move for the Brazil international is seen as a long shot, but Casemiro is still among the options drawn up by Erik ten Hag as he attempts to overhaul his midfield.

[Marca](https://www.marca.com/futbol/mercado-fichajes/2022/08/16/62fc0775e2704e6f038b45bd.html), United chiefs are in Madrid looking at different options, including Real Madrid star Casemiro and Atletico Madrid’s Joao Felix. Both players would be improvements on the players we currently start in midfield, although it is still disappointing that the board have thus far been unable to land Ten Hag’s prime target. [Chelsea reportedly waiting for the Netherlands international](https://strettynews.com/2022/08/16/bookmakers-made-chelsea-favourites-to-sign-cristiano-ronaldo/) to decide on his future.

Man United are targeting Real Madrid midfielder Casemiro in a bid to strengthen Erik ten Hag's squad.

Although the thought of United being brave enough to deploy a 4-1-4-1 system at the moment, certainly on current form, is not a pretty one, it is a system, over time, that Casemiro could feature in if Erik ten Hag was prepared to use it. That approach would leave United with two more midfield positions to fill, both of which would be attack-minded. Casemiro, however, would be a suitable alternative to the Dutchman if United can make it happen, as he would offer the bite and aggression that they are sorely lacking in midfield. Casemiro would be United's holding midfielder, offering a much-needed layer of protection to the defensive rearguard. That would leave Eriksen and Fernandes squabbling for the advanced-midfield berth, operating as the No.10 behind the lone striker. It is currently unclear if the 30-year-old would be open to moving to Old Trafford or whether his representative is using United in a bid to increase Casemiro's salary.

Manchester United reportedly turn their attention to Real Madrid's Casemiro after a move for Juventus midfielder Adrien Rabiot collapses.

CASEMIRO has reportedly emerged as a shock target for Manchester United.

Despite having agreed a £15million deal with Juventus for Rabiot, United are understood to have since cooled their interest on that front. While United are thought to consider the signing of the Brazilian a 'long shot', they are believed to have been given encouragement that a deal could take place. United may also have seen their chances of landing the 63-time Brazil international boosted by the fact the defensive midfielder seemingly faces a battle on his hands to retain his starting spot at the Santiago Bernabeu.

After Manchester United's interest in Casemiro was reported on Tuesday, it is clear that he will only leave Real Madrid if the club and player are convinced ...

Of course, he feels loved at Real Madrid and that also counts. Nobody doubts what Casemiro has achieved. He knows, however, that he has the backing of the Real Madrid fans, the coach, the club and his teammates during this process. He'll have to consider the absence of Champions League football this season and what it would mean to be out of a competition that is part of his daily life. There is a lot of money involved and now it is time to think thoroughly before making a decision, something Casemiro is doing as he is considering the idea.

While €60m might be a reasonable fee for an excellent 30-year-old midfielder in most cases, few can replace his quality but no money can replace the weight in the dressing room and experience he has.

It is thought he has little interest in leaving, even if a deal could be agreed between the clubs.

Real Madrid are not closed to the possibility of selling Casemiro this summer but will demand a massive fee from Manchester United.

Man United target Casemiro has won the Champions League five times for Real Madrid during his nine years at the club.

Overall, FM22 suggests that Casemiro could become a key player for United, regularly starting in their midfield and helping improve the side. The Reds scored eight more goals and conceded 12 fewer goals with Casemiro in midfield, highlighting his impact. Ten Hag's side were four points behind Tottenham in fourth and 10 behind champions Liverpool - not the biggest gap in the world. Although it still wasn't enough for a spot in the top four, as Ten Hag's side finished fifth in the Premier League, they were much closer to their rivals. To set up this simulation, we used the Football Manager 2022 editor to arrange for Casemiro to join United from Real Madrid, using FM22 to run the simulation. So, if United were to make a move for Casemiro this summer, how could the Brazilian impact Ten Hag's side?

The report claims that Casemiro has not closed the door on a departure from Madrid this summer, contrary to reports. This is not surprising considering the poor management and performance of Manchester United this season. The arrival of Aurelien Tchouameni signals competition for the defensive midfield position. [COPE](https://twitter.com/partidazocope/status/1559926616721178624?s=21&t=QvrcZwcLlwPhd5KPLcrD6Q), the Brazilian midfielder has no intention of leaving Real Madrid and is not even considering a move away from the Bernabeu.

Manchester United have set a date to complete the signing of Casemiro from La Liga giants Real Madrid.

Real Madrid midfielder Casemiro is reportedly considering a summer transfer to Manchester United, who are lining up a £50m bid for the 30-year-old.

[A recent report](/football/man-utd/transfer-talk/news/ten-hag-wants-five-signings-before-end-of-transfer-window_492433.html) claims that Ten Hag is targeting a right-back, two midfielders, a centre-forward and a wide forward in the final two weeks of the summer window.

Manchester United have their eye on five signings, including Real Madrid midfielder Casemiro, while Everton want Adnan Januzaj, and Naby Keita could leave.

They have Eduardo Camavinga and Aurelien Tchouameni in their squad, so are well stocked for the future, making this potentially a sensible time to raise funds from the player’s sale. Paper Round’s view: Januzaj’s brief and impressive spell for United came under David Moyes at Old Trafford, so he might prefer to return to a manager who helped him into professional football. Paper Round’s view: None of these players were being mentioned much a week ago, let alone a month, which demonstrates just how poorly United have planned for the transfer window.

Chelsea looks to steal yet another Manchester United target as Todd Boehly sets his eyes on five-time Champions League winner Casemiro.

If De Jong decides to leave Barcelona this summer, the Dutchmen will be looking for a club with Champions League football. This is something Chelsea can offer that Manchester United can not. Chelsea is looking at another Manchester United target Frenkie De Jong, it is believed the Blues is the favorites now to sign the Dutch international.

MANCHESTER UNITED and Chelsea are again linked with the same transfer target.

The Blues still view United as a rival and do not want to be seen to strengthen Ten Hag's squad. But it appears they will have to look elsewhere from the 23-year-old. Owner Todd Boehly is thinking about making a move for the 30-year-old. The Blues are reportedly interested in signing [Real Madrid](/latest/real-madrid-fc) midfielder Casemiro, and will also block United's interest in Christian Pulisic. Casemiro emerged as a target for the Red Devils earlier this week.

Chelsea and Manchester United look set to lock horns this summer as the transfer deadline draws closer.

Shortly after Tchouameni snubbed [Chelsea](https://www.football.london/chelsea-fc/) and penned a six-year deal at the Santiago Bernabeu, Casemiro faced an increasingly uncertain future in the Spanish capital. Though, the report said that the La Liga champions will 'gladly' keep the him for the time being if he drops his desire for an improved deal. It's said that Aurelien Tchouameni emerged as a potential replacement, but Real swooped in and hijacked the Blues' interest. Chelsea look set to hand Manchester United a major blow in the race to sign Real Madrid's Casemiro, according to reports. [Marca](https://www.marca.com/en/football/real-madrid/2022/01/28/61f3ece3ca47417b728b4583.html), the France international was - ironically - identified by Carlo Ancelotti as the ['perfect replacement for Casemiro'](https://www.football.london/chelsea-fc/news/chelsea-takeover-real-madrid-transfer-23412728).

Chelsea have made solid additions to their squad during the summer transfer window. Raheem Sterling and Marc Cucurella, among others, seem like top signings.

The only slight question mark would be around Chelsea paying such a large fee for a player who has already reached the age of 30. However, the report suggests that [Chelsea](https://www.teamtalk.com/chelsea) have been looking at the star for a longer period. However, he has performed consistently for years, and nothing over the past season or so has suggested that will stop any time soon. Should they land him, Casemiro would be a great addition to the Chelsea side. Chelsea are keen on Real Madrid star Casemiro per reports, and they could snatch him from the Spanish side with a big offer. They are targeting a big name to help them ascend the table, too.

CASEMIRO is Manchester United's new transfer target as they look to sign new players in midfield.

He may not be the greatest of ball-carriers and his passing may not always be progressive - a huge reason Erik ten Hag wants De Jong - but how United would benefit from his energy, defensive intelligence and ability to disrupt opposition attacks. Ndidi would not come cheap, of course, but there's a possibility Leicester might be tempted for around £40million or so, which they could then reinvest. Ndidi could win the ball back and set off the likes of Eriksen, Bruno Fernandes and Jadon Sancho. The 47-cap Nigerian international's durability has come into question in the last couple of seasons but when fit, Ndidi is one of the best tacklers and intercepters in the Premier League. Certainly he would be a fine signing and offers qualities the Red Devils sorely lack in the middle of the park. Since his debut in 2017, Ndidi has established himself as one of the best ball-winners in the division and is seriously adept at breaking up play.

Erik ten Hag turned his attention to the five-time Champions League winner after growing frustrated by the failure to sign Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong.

The move for Casemiro is expected to spark a flurry of activity from Manchester United in the final days of the transfer window. The Brazilian, though, doesn't want to mull over the decision for too long as a final decision is expected soon. The move for Casemiro was originally described as a "long shot" from Manchester United insiders - but such has been the rapid progress this week that there is now strong belief he will head to Old Trafford.

CASEMIRO has reportedly emerged as a priority target for Manchester United in the middle of the park.

However, it seems as though Casemiro has emerged as the chosen one and it remains to be seen whether a full agreement can be reached in the not-too-distant future. United are said to have stepped up their pursuit of Casemiro after missing out on the signing of Adrien Rabiot, who was recently in talks with the club but is not expected to join Erik ten Hag's squad as a result of his exorbitant wage demands. Ancelotti's admiration for the player could potentially spell trouble with regards to United's hopes of snapping him up over the next few days, though. United were previously left frustrated in their efforts to sign Frenkie de Jong from Barcelona before pulling out of a move for Rabiot earlier this month over the Frenchman's lucrative salary expectations. He carries the ball well but he doesn’t have Casemiro’s tactical ability, I’ve never had a pivot like him." But other players can play as a pivot.

Manchester United have now reportedly agreed personal terms with Real Madrid midfielder and Brazilian international, Casemiro of a new report is to be believed, the player would receive a large wage increase.
