Casemiro’s departure from Real Madrid is slowly gaining ground. Among the three guards in the midfield of Real Madrid (with Kroos and Modric), he is however the youngest (30 years old) but since yesterday, the Brazilian is the priority target of Manchester United in the middle. Dismissed in the Frenkie de Jong case by the Dutchman himself, the Red Devils have made Madrid their priority. They did well to give it a shot since this transfer would suit everyone.
Despite a current contract until 2025 in Spain, he might double his salary in England, where he currently earns between 5 and 6 M€ per season, in addition to signing for 5 seasons. La Casa Blanca has set his departure at €80m, when Manchester would be ready to put in €60m. The sum will be very important anyway for a player at the top of his game. If the deal ever closes, Real Madrid are already looking for something to fill the void Casemiro would cause. According ASa player is favorite.
A possible transfer but beyond 100 M€
This is Bruno Guimarães. The 24-year-old Brazilian would tick all the boxes: still relatively young, athletic, a physical bass drum and an interesting technical palette make him a player of the future but also of the present. As for the realization of this transfer on the other hand, it looks much more complicated as explained by the Spanish media. Newcastle does not want to lose its best player, and the one it considers the current leader of the club’s new project. In addition, according to our information, other teams are also on the job, but the ex-Gone remains focused on the Toons.
To dislodge him, Real Madrid will have to pay more than double their purchase price last January. As a reminder, the Magpies bought him from OL for €52m. It would therefore be necessary to issue a nine-figure check. On top of that, Bruno Guimarães is locked by a long contract, going until 2026. Hope is therefore slim for the one who, icing on the cake, has dual Brazilian and Spanish nationality through his grandfather. Clearly, he has it all.
