Manchester United are ‘confident’ they can take Real Madrid’s Casemiro, according to ABC on Friday.
The report says the Red Devils will pay €60m to the La Liga winners and have seduced the midfielder by improving his salary [currently earns €11m gross per year].
ABC explain Manchester United’s proposal is also seductive to the agency, Best of You, that manages the 30-year-old.
Florentino Pérez is ready to let Casemiro leave because he has ‘earned to decide his future’.
The Brazil international has already informed the dressing room that he’s most likely to leave and held talks with Carlo Ancelotti yesterday.
The Champions League winners believe the Red Devils’ proposal should arrive shortly. The two clubs have not still made direct contact.
At the same time, the player is also aware the operation has to start from him, and Real Madrid will give the approval for the sale, as long as there is a good offer. Marca explain a €60m figure should be taken as a starting point.
Real Madrid feel the possibility of Casemiro’s exit to be ‘real and evident’, with Manchester United waiting for him.
Marca go on to stress Casemiro could ‘travel to Manchester today’ to undergo a medical examination.
