Casemiro looks to be closing in on a move to Manchester United from Real Madrid. Per Fabrizio Romano, United are working to get a deal worth up to €70 million approved by Real, with medicals expected to take place imminently and a contract agreed with the Brazilian.
He looks likely to become United’s fourth signing of the summer and their first in midfield despite a long, drawn out saga around Barcelona’s Frenkie de Jong, which could now be over with Casemiro’s potential signing.
It’s a huge coup for United after a massively disappointing summer in the transfer market that has bled into their first two Premier League games of the season.
Casemiro would become Erik ten Hag’s fourth signing of the summer, but joins a squad that still needs major revisions in the eyes of many.
