After losing Nemanja Matic and Paul Pogba, Erik ten Hag is in severe need of midfield reinforcements.
The disappointment of missing out on signing Adrien Rabiot has soon faded for Manchester United. Casemiro, a Real Madrid mainstay, is on the verge of joining Manchester United after Carlo Ancelotti gave the club his blessing to explore the offer.
All summer long, Erik ten Hag has been on the hunt for a deep-lying midfielder. Frenkie de Jong was the Dutch coach's first aim, but he was unable to persuade the FC Barcelona midfielder to transfer to Old Trafford from the Camp Nou.
Rabiot was viewed as a potential replacement by the 20-time English champions, and a sum of €18 million had been agreed upon with Juventus. But because United felt the Frenchman's wage demands were unreasonable, the transaction was abandoned.
When they learned that Casemiro was available, the major Premier League players moved rapidly, and a trade is now almost finalized. The Athletic reports that United has made a bid for the five-time Champions League champion worth an initial €60 million plus an additional €10 million in add-ons.
In the near future, Casemiro is anticipated to sign for Manchester United.
Brazilian international signed a four-year deal with United that includes a one-year option to extend it. With the exception of Cristiano Ronaldo, Casemiro will become one of the highest-paid players at the English club thanks to his new contract. The conditions are anticipated to be similar to David de Gea's £350,000 per week contract.
The English top-flight club wants to finalize the acquisition before the weekend, according to Italian transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano. Even if no deal has been struck, both United and the player are optimistic that something will work out well in the coming days.
"For the transaction to be finalized on Friday, Manchester United will submit an official offer for Casemiro tonight. Real Madrid is anticipated to accept in the coming hours for a €60 million charge plus €10 million in add-ons "Romano composed.
Aurélien Tchouaméni, who joined Real in the summer, took the 30-year-spot old's at the start of the season against Almeria. With Eduardo Camavinga and Federico Valverde available, Ancelotti has a strong midfield.
Since 2015, Casemiro has played a significant role in the midfield of the Spanish powerhouses, creating a solid connection with Toni Kroos and Luka Modric. Along with his two midfield teammates, the Brazilian won five Champions League championships and ten other awards.
