Manchester United star Casemiro could be set to leave Old Trafford very soon. The 33-year-old midfielder is now in the last months of his deal, which ends in June.
United do have an option to extend, but talk around Europe is growing that Casemiro may choose a new challenge.
The Brazilian has spent three years at United and was seen as one of the big leaders in midfield. But now questions are being asked if he will stay in Manchester or go for one final big move before the end of his career.
Saudi Temptation Strong
Reports claim that Saudi club Al-Nassr are ready to make a massive offer to bring Casemiro over.
The move would also reunite him with his old Real Madrid teammate Cristiano Ronaldo. The Saudi side are said to be ready to spend big and “will not spare any expense” to make it happen.
For Casemiro, it could be a smart decision at this stage of his career.
The Saudi league offers high wages, a slower pace compared to the Premier League, and the chance to play alongside world stars already in Saudi Arabia.
United’s Big Problems
Manchester United are having a poor start to the season. Just one win from the first four games has left them in 14th place, very close to the bottom.
That form has raised pressure on manager Ruben Amorim and also on the club’s board.
The decision about Casemiro now becomes even bigger. If United let him go, they will need a full rebuild in midfield.
If they convince him to stay, they keep his leadership and experience, which could be vital in tough games.

Club Want Him to Stay
Despite the rumours, United are not ready to give up. Reports say the club will “do everything possible” to keep Casemiro.
His experience, calmness on the ball and leadership qualities are still seen as key at Old Trafford.
But there is also talk that Casemiro has looked a little tired in some games, not the same as when he first arrived. Some fans think United should prepare for life without him, while others believe he is still the man to lead the midfield.
The next few months are massive. If Casemiro signs a new deal, it will be seen as a strong move by United to keep their leaders together.
If he leaves for Saudi Arabia, it will show the club are ready for another rebuild in the summer.
Either way, United must act fast. If they lose him without signing a top-quality replacement, it could be another mistake that sets the club back again.
