Real Madrid star's deal to Man Utd is getting closer for £60 million
Five-time Champions League victor Erik ten Hag is getting close to being captured
According to GOAL, Manchester United is growing more and more optimistic that they will sign Real Madrid star Casemiro. They have made significant progress in their search for the Brazil midfielder, who is anticipated to fetch approximately £60 million ($72 million).
Erik ten Hag became dissatisfied with his inability to capture Barcelona player Frenkie de Jong, so he turned his focus to the five-time Champions League champion.
Due to Adrien Rabiot's personal demands, the Red Devils also withdrew from an agreement to sign the Juventus midfielder this week.
A deal is approaching
The transfer of Casemiro from Manchester was initially considered a long shot from Man United insiders - But due to this week's tremendous advancement, there is now a strong belief that he will travel to Old Trafford.
After witnessing Real Madrid sign Aurelien Tchouameni this summer, Casemiro is rumored to be interested in joining the team as a signal that his time at the Santiago Bernabeu may be coming to an end.
The 30-year-old is thought to be enjoying a new challenge in the Premier League because he has achieved everything with the Spanish giants.
His wish to go is reportedly accepted by Real Madrid as well.
GOAL has received confirmation from sources that the midfielder is currently assessing the advantages and disadvantages of a prospective move to Old Trafford.
While Man Utd would present him with a fresh professional challenge, that challenge would not involve Champions League play.
The Brazilian, though, is hesitant to dwell on the choice for too long because a conclusion is anticipated soon.
De Jong, what about him?
The Manchester United boss was confident he would be reunited with the player he worked with at Ajax, who has been Ten Hag's top target all summer.
Although Manchester United and Barcelona reached an agreement on a transfer fee of up to £71 million ($85 million), De Jong's refusal to leave Camp Nou has proven to be a significant roadblock.
Even though Ten Hag's interest in De Jong is still reportedly alive, Casemiro is regarded as a top-tier substitute.
Manchester United is anticipated to be extremely active in the final days of the transfer window as a result of the acquisition of Casemiro.
Ten Hag would prefer to have two midfielders, and Moises Caicedo of Brighton is a potential candidate.
In order to strengthen their assault, the Red Devils are reportedly considering a new move for Ajax winger Antony, and Ten Hag has also presented a case for Chelsea striker Hakim Ziyech.
The team would also need a successor for Cristiano Ronaldo if he were to leave.
For £10 million, Aaron Wan-Bissaka could move to Crystal Palace, opening up space for a new right defender while also providing David de Gea with backup.
