Time for Man Utd to cash in on Casemiro? Saudi Pro League clubs prepared to offer eye-watering transfer fee for struggling star

According to Caught Offside, Al-Nassr are leading the charge for Casemiro and are prepared to table a bid in the region of €90-100 million (£76.67/$97.67m - £85.19m/$108.52m) for the Brazilian international. Another Saudi club, Al-Hilal, have also expressed interest, underscoring the high demand for the veteran midfielder in the Middle Eastern football circuit.

Al-Nassr have already initiated discussions with Casemiro's entourage and have assured the player that he would have a key role at the club, which would see him reunite with Cristiano Ronaldo. This has made the midfielder interested in the transfer as it offers him a fresh start away from the pressures of the Premier League.

The potential transfer fee nearing €100 million represents a significant windfall for Manchester United. The financial influx from this deal would provide much-needed flexibility in the transfer market, enabling the club to pursue emerging talents and reinforce key areas. Given Casemiro's age and recent form, such a sum would be a remarkable return on investment as they look set to rebuild under the new ownership, to return to the upper echelons of European football.

While there is still a long way to go, the groundwork for this blockbuster transfer is well underway. If personal terms are agreed upon, Al-Nassr will open communication channels with United to settle on a transfer fee as Casemiro is contracted with the Red Devils until 2026.
