Overview
- Manchester United chose not to trigger a one-year option on Casemiro’s deal, and the midfielder advanced his exit announcement as he becomes free to agree a pre-contract outside England.
- São Paulo chief executive Rui Costa said a player sent Casemiro an informal message and received a reply indicating he plans to remain in another market, with no formal proposal made.
- Inter Miami and LA Galaxy are reported to be exploring a move under MLS’s designated player mechanism, though his high wages would narrow the field of suitors.
- Reports also link potential interest from Saudi Arabia and Brazilian clubs, but those possibilities remain unconfirmed and less defined.
- Interim head coach Michael Carrick praised Casemiro’s current level and influence, with standout numbers in the win at Everton underscoring United’s challenge to replace him this summer.
