Ever since Marca first reported Manchester United’s interest in Casemiro on Tuesday, there has been several claims in the Spanish media on this topic.
Earlier on Thursday, Mundo Deportivo stated the Red Devils are willing to offer the La Liga star a five-year deal with €18m per season.
It was also explained a potential operation depends on what Manchester United will put on the table and on the 30-year-old’s decision.
A few journalists appeared as guests on Cadena Ser’s program, El Larguero, to discuss the possibility of the midfielder leaving the Champions League winners for the Red Devils.
Javier Herráez echoed Mundo’s claim and stressed the Brazil international’s views will be crucial for any deal to take shape.
“There is no firm offer for the Brazilian but at Madrid they are aware that it is going to come. In the end it is the footballer who decides whether to accept it or not,” Javier Herráez said.
“They do not put a price, we will see what the English team says and Casemiro’s opinion is very important, as he has an excellent relationship with Ancelotti and Davide [Ancelotti]. Casemiro is not unhappy but it depends on him if he is interested or not”.
Although Manchester United have not yet sent a proposal to Real Madrid so far, Antonio Romero, Cadena SER journalist, says it will arrive at any moment.
“We’re talking about a preventive offer, the offer hasn’t arrived yet but everyone knows it’s going to come,” Romero explained.
“The footballer is very much a Real Madrid player, I think that, hand in hand, Casemiro is not going to leave Real Madrid.”
“It is a very Florentino Pérez operation, with an amortised footballer. Economically, it is an operation that Florentino Pérez likes, he is a special guy and he rules a lot in the locker room, glue between young Brazilians and veterans.”
“We are talking about a preventive offer. Nobody in the footballer’s environment says anything and that makes me think that they are interested in noise.”
Another journalist, Miguel Martín Talavera has a different take on this case. He is of the belief that Casemiro has already held talks with Manchester United over a potential move.
“When Real Madrid knows that an offer is going to arrive and nobody around him speaks, it means that the player has already spoken with Manchester United. I see it as difficult for a transfer of this calibre to be made at this point,” he stressed.
