Weeks before, the speculations were also fueled by a furious argument between Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah and departing manager Jurgen Klopp. Caught Offside reports that Cristiano Ronaldo’s Saudi team is watching Manchester United as it seeks to sign Casemiro.
The website said that during the Brazilian’s attempt to depart Europe, Casemiro’s delegates spoke with Al Nassr.
The source claims Saudi is offering a three-year contract and is seeking as much as £40 million for the seasoned midfielder.
The 32-year-old has been with Manchester United for four and a half years, with an option for a one-year extension; nevertheless, he hasn’t decided what to do when the season ends.
Under Old Trafford, the Brazilian played 51 games across all competitions, but his display against Crystal Palace was below par.
Jamie Carragher spoke with Sky Sports following the game, pleading with him to join the Saudi team from the Premier League.
“Casemiro should know tonight as an experienced player that he should only have another three games left at the top level — the next two [Premier] league games and the [FA] cup final — then he should be thinking I need to go to the MLS or Saudi.”
