Xavi on Frenkie de Jong: “I consider Frenkie important for me, he’s in the squad and that’s it.

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 is reportedly set to undergo a medical with Manchester United on Friday ahead of a proposed move from Real Madrid.

According to Marca, via Madrid Zone, the Brazilian's move to Old Trafford appears to be edging closer with the midfielder set to undergo a medical with United on Friday.

MANCHESTER UNITED are reportedly closing in on a deal to bring Casemiro to Old Trafford over the coming days.

Real Madrid have already spent around £72m on the capture of Aurelien Tchouameni this summer and could reportedly decide to go in strong once again for Guimaraes if Casemiro ends up finalising his move to United in the not-too-distant future.

They would not stand in his way if he decided to accept. Real Sociedad’s Mikel Merino was first and Busquets runner-up in that latter category. Although Casemiro has a contract that runs to 2025, Real are mindful of the scale of United’s offer of a contract that could extend to 2027 once the option of an additional season is added on.

My first professional match was scheduled in the ‘local’ town of Griffith, NSW, a mere 360km and more than four hours’ bus trip away. After 10 minutes there was a foot of water on the pitch/pond. Alas, a lack of floodlights – and a kick-off time that didn’t factor in extra-time – forced an abandonment on 105 minutes with the score 5-5. I gave my ticket to the barman who was also a Blue for the rearranged fixture, as I couldn’t make it. Unfortunately it didn’t last that long – the game was postponed after a minor shower just over an hour beforehand.

More irons are in the fire as United look to kickstart their ailing campaign at a time of intense pressure on the Glazer family. The fee for Casemiro could rise to 70m euros (A102 million) if clauses are met, with a four-year deal plus the option of a further season on the table.

The latter is thought to be valued by his club in excess of £90m ($106m), perhaps putting off interest from United. Currently Ten Hag's squad appears to be lacking a player who is a natural in this position, so the Brazilian will almost certainly have an impact. United have looked at Carrasco's Atletico Madrid teammate Matheus Cunha as well, but it is believed a nine-figure sum may be needed to lure the Brazilian to Old Trafford. Casemiro won five Champions Leagues in a nine-year spell with Los Blancos and Erik ten Hag will be hoping the Brazilian can bring some much-needed experience to the United midfield. They listed his honours while at the Spanish giants, which included five Champions Leagues and three La Liga titles. "Real Madrid is and will always be his home, and we wish him and his whole family the best of luck in this new stage of his life."

Manchester United have spent €60m to bring in world-class midfielder Casemiro from Real Madrid, but what can they expect from him?

[Barcelona](/soccer/team?id=83)'s [Sergio Busquets](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/121893/Sergio-Busquets), had more ball recoveries than Casemiro (230) in LaLiga last season, and that's playing for a Madrid team which tends to dominate possession. He might be 30, but he's still vastly experienced and one of the best in the world in his position; United couldn't really say no when the opportunity came up. He breaks up play, reads the game well and he's comfortable sitting in front of the back four -- which is something United have missed even before Ten Hag arrived. The Brazilian's role in that trio was well-defined as most defensive-minded of the three, protecting Madrid's defence, winning the ball back and providing a platform on which more attack-minded colleagues could flourish -- although he has shown a growing desire to get forward over the years, too. He has been compared in style to legendary Real Madrid defensive midfielder Claude Makelele, though Casemiro's positional sense and determination mark him out as one of the best around. Casemiro usually sits deep as the central pivot in front of the centre-backs in a 4-3-3 system.

A late, pricey pivot to lure the veteran Real Madrid midfielder to Old Trafford as part of a reactive transfer mad dash is quite emblematic of United's ...

Perhaps this is the beginning of a new Manchester United, where it wins some games, stops the rot and starts to clear the ground for the ten Hag project. Casemiro and Fred have started 10 games together for Brazil since the start of last year, so perhaps there’s a knock-on effect that translates to the club level and helps his much-maligned countryman. Why was it not used before, when new signings could have properly integrated in preseason instead of during a bottom-of-the-table crisis two games into the new season? And when that deal stalled, United turned to Casemiro, a midfielder of a totally different profile. And yet with the signing of Casemiro, United now has more than a quarter of the Real Madrid lineups that won consecutive Champions League titles in 2017 and ’18, and that side categorically did not play hard-pressing, Ajax-style football. [Casemiro](https://www.si.com/soccer/2022/08/19/casemiro-transfer-carlo-ancelotti-real-madrid-manchester-united) is a very good footballer.

Casemiro shirt number: The Man Utd number the Brazilian midfielder could get ...

But 15, last worn for United by Andreas Pereira, could be a strong option for Casemiro, with obvious connections to his favoured Brazil digit. Five is another a shirt number associated with Casemiro, having worn it for Brazil since 2015. It now belongs to centre-back Lisandro Martinez, but Casemiro occupied it for Porto during his year at the Estadio Dragao.

[Fabrizio Romano](https://thepeoplesperson.com/tag/fabrizio-romano/) confirms on Twitter that “all documents are signed” and that the Spanish club have confirmed the deal is “done and completed”.

MADRID (AP) — Brazil midfielder Casemiro wants to leave Real Madrid, coach Carlo Ancelotti said Friday, amid reported interest from Manchester United.

“Then we’ve got Kroos, who can play in that position too, just like he did in my second year here, and there’s Camavinga as well.” The 30-year-old Casemiro has been with Madrid since 2013 and is regarded as one of the world’s best holding midfielders. Ancelotti said Madrid has replacements for Casemiro, though, including young France midfielder Aurélien Tchouaméni, who was signed in the offseason. There are talks right now, he’s still a Real Madrid player at this stage, but he wants to leave.” “He wants to try a new challenge, a new opportunity,” Ancelotti said in a news conference. Madrid thanked Casemiro and called him a club legend.

Manchester United have confirmed that an agreement is in place to sign Casemiro for £59.5m from Real Madrid.

[Florentino Perez](/people/florentino-perez/)". [Manchester United](/football/man-utd/) have confirmed an agreement to sign [Casemiro](/people/casemiro/) from [Real Madrid](/football/real-madrid/). [Frenkie de Jong](/people/frenkie-de-jong/) regarded as their top target, but with the Dutchman keen to remain at Barcelona, the Premier League club began to look at other options.

MANCHESTER UNITED state of play: Casemiro is set to become the club's fourth signing this summer, with John Murtough working hard to back Erik ten Hag ...

Personal terms with the Brazil international have been agreed on, with Real Madrid poised to pocket £60million from any expected sale. Fortunately for the Red Devils, it doesn’t appear John Murtough is done yet as he looks to back [Erik ten Hag](/latest/erik-ten-hag) following a nightmare start to the new season. Leeds’ Illan Meslier is another option, though Leicester are also keen on the 22-year-old. [Manchester United](/latest/manchester-united-fc) have signed Tyrell Malacia, Lisandro Martinez and Christian Eriksen so far this summer. United then proceeded to land Eriksen on a free transfer from Brentford, just over a year after the Denmark international suffered a cardiac arrest at the European Championships. And Casemiro is looking increasingly likely to become their fourth deal, with the Brazil international willing to join from [Real Madrid](/latest/real-madrid-fc).

Raphael Varane was the first Manchester United player to send a welcome message to Casemiro with the Brazil midfielder on the verge of moving to Old ...

United have lacked that edge for years and I think Casemiro is a more suited signing than Frenkie de Jong. Last season that trio helped deliver another Champions League and La Liga title and they were all in their 30s. He’s been a tremendous player for Madrid, providing that much needed steel in midfield and it allowed Toni Kroos and Luka Modric to do what they do best for years.
