Since it’s the English and Spanish media who’ve been bringing the most news regarding Manchester United’s pursuit for Casemiro, it’s interesting to see some updates coming from the player’s home country.
ESPN Brasil journalist Fernando Campos has shared a detailed Twitter thread, to explain the information he has on the case, and some details are very different from what’s been published elsewhere.
The reporter starts by claiming that Casemiro is still to accept Manchester United’s offer, but the financial offer is said to be ‘on the table’ and the final decision ‘will be made soon’.
Regarding the many stories about the Red Devils being willing to double the wages the midfielder has at Real Madrid, Campos insists those claims are ‘fake’. He says the salary offer at Old Trafford is actually ‘similar’ to what the midfielder makes at the Santiago Bernabeu.
The story claims Casemiro is fine with money, having already achieved a big status at his current club, and his decision will be focused on ‘professional and personal’ matters.
Finishing with his opinion, Campos points says: “He has won absolutely everything at Real Madrid. Eternal idol and history is already made. Player of this level is moved a lot by challenge. United are gigantic and we are talking about the Premier League. The timing is not good, but it’s still Manchester United. That shakes.”
