Marca report Manchester United have expressed interest in Real Madrid midfielder Casemiro, a five time Champions League winner.

At 30, he still has plenty more left to offer and should not be considered over the hill. At the weekend Casemiro was on the bench for Real’s opening game of the season, playing only the final seven minutes of a 2-1 win over Almeria. A move for Casemiro would be an audacious swoop and a fantastic one if the Red Devils can pull it off.

Real Madrid star Casemiro has been linked with a move to Manchester United with Erik ten Hag desperate to add more quality to his midfield before the ...

All of that will be an afterthought for Ten Hag, though, as its his defensive capabilities which will appeal most to the United boss. That’s a point captured by the fact only five La Liga midfielders who played over 1000 minutes could better his progressive pass per 90 average last season (8.51). He’ll cost an expensive fee up front and his wages will be high too. However, Real signed Casemiro’s potential long-term successor, Aurelien Tchouameni, for £80million earlier in the summer. Barcelona star Frenkie de Jong has been the club’s primary target for much of the summer, but as that saga drags on, they have started turning their attention to other options. A £15million fee for Adrien Rabiot was agreed with Juventus last week, although personal terms have not yet been finalised.

Manchester United is considering a transfer move for Real Madrid's Casemiro to help fix their midfield woes, The Sun reports. No formal offer has been.

[Marca](https://www.marca.com/futbol/mercado-fichajes/2022/08/16/62fc0775e2704e6f038b45bd.html), United chiefs are in Madrid looking at different options, including Real Madrid star Casemiro and Atletico Madrid’s Joao Felix. Both players would be improvements on the players we currently start in midfield, although it is still disappointing that the board have thus far been unable to land Ten Hag’s prime target. [Chelsea reportedly waiting for the Netherlands international](https://strettynews.com/2022/08/16/bookmakers-made-chelsea-favourites-to-sign-cristiano-ronaldo/) to decide on his future.

MANCHESTER UNITED are turning to Casemiro as their latest midfield transfer target.

United have laboured to 2-1 defeats to Brighton and a 4-0 thrashing at Brentford in their first two matches of the new Premier League season. Casemiro is more of a ball-winning No 6 than the technical pass master De Jong but his arrival would no doubt ease the frustrations of Ten Hag. And so Casemiro, who the Red Devils believe to be in the same calibre as De Jong, is the new top option. [Manchester United](/latest/manchester-united-fc) are convinced that Casemiro is a similarly elite player to Frenkie de Jong, according to reports. United have identified the £50million-rated 30-year-old as an ideal candidate to anchor their midfield under Ten Hag. A move to United seems highly unlikely.

Man United are targeting Real Madrid midfielder Casemiro in a bid to strengthen Erik ten Hag's squad.

Although the thought of United being brave enough to deploy a 4-1-4-1 system at the moment, certainly on current form, is not a pretty one, it is a system, over time, that Casemiro could feature in if Erik ten Hag was prepared to use it. That approach would leave United with two more midfield positions to fill, both of which would be attack-minded. Casemiro, however, would be a suitable alternative to the Dutchman if United can make it happen, as he would offer the bite and aggression that they are sorely lacking in midfield. Casemiro would be United's holding midfielder, offering a much-needed layer of protection to the defensive rearguard. That would leave Eriksen and Fernandes squabbling for the advanced-midfield berth, operating as the No.10 behind the lone striker. It is currently unclear if the 30-year-old would be open to moving to Old Trafford or whether his representative is using United in a bid to increase Casemiro's salary.

CASEMIRO has reportedly emerged as a shock target for Manchester United.

Despite having agreed a £15million deal with Juventus for Rabiot, United are understood to have since cooled their interest on that front. While United are thought to consider the signing of the Brazilian a 'long shot', they are believed to have been given encouragement that a deal could take place. United may also have seen their chances of landing the 63-time Brazil international boosted by the fact the defensive midfielder seemingly faces a battle on his hands to retain his starting spot at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Manchester United are continuing their frantic search for a midfielder that can add some definition to their midfield and Casemiro is the latest name to be ...

While €60m might be a reasonable fee for an excellent 30-year-old midfielder in most cases, few can replace his quality but no money can replace the weight in the dressing room and experience he has. [ Diario AS](https://as.com/futbol/primera/the-telegraph-el-united-estaria-dispuesto-a-pagar-60m-al-madrid-por-casemiro-n/?smm=CM_ES_TW&utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Twitter#Echobox=1660717747) have picked up on a report from The Telegraph in England, which claims that United are willing to part with €60m in order to tempt Real Madrid. It is thought he has little interest in leaving, even if a deal could be agreed between the clubs.

After Manchester United's interest in Casemiro was reported on Tuesday, it is clear that he will only leave Real Madrid if the club and player are convinced ...

Of course, he feels loved at Real Madrid and that also counts. Nobody doubts what Casemiro has achieved. He knows, however, that he has the backing of the Real Madrid fans, the coach, the club and his teammates during this process. He'll have to consider the absence of Champions League football this season and what it would mean to be out of a competition that is part of his daily life. There is a lot of money involved and now it is time to think thoroughly before making a decision, something Casemiro is doing as he is considering the idea. [Manchester United's interest in Casemiro](https://www.marca.com/en/football/real-madrid/2022/08/16/62fb8513ca474103678b45c0.html) was reported on Tuesday, it is clear that he will only leave Real Madrid if the club and player are convinced that it is the best decision for both parties.

The Brazil international has formed a bond with the likes of Luka Modric and Toni Kroos in the Real Madrid midfield, establishing himself as one of the best midfielders in the world. According to ESPN, the Brazilian would prefer to remain in Spain this summer, but has not ruled out a move to Manchester United. Real Madrid’s Brazilian International, Casemiro’s decision on leaving the club for Manchester United has been revealed.

Real Madrid are not closed to the possibility of selling Casemiro this summer but will demand a massive fee from Manchester United.

Man United target Casemiro has won the Champions League five times for Real Madrid during his nine years at the club.

Overall, FM22 suggests that Casemiro could become a key player for United, regularly starting in their midfield and helping improve the side. The Reds scored eight more goals and conceded 12 fewer goals with Casemiro in midfield, highlighting his impact. Ten Hag's side were four points behind Tottenham in fourth and 10 behind champions Liverpool - not the biggest gap in the world. Although it still wasn't enough for a spot in the top four, as Ten Hag's side finished fifth in the Premier League, they were much closer to their rivals. To set up this simulation, we used the Football Manager 2022 editor to arrange for Casemiro to join United from Real Madrid, using FM22 to run the simulation. So, if United were to make a move for Casemiro this summer, how could the Brazilian impact Ten Hag's side?

Manchester United have set a date to complete the signing of Casemiro from La Liga giants Real Madrid.

Chelsea looks to steal yet another Manchester United target as Todd Boehly sets his eyes on five-time Champions League winner Casemiro.

If De Jong decides to leave Barcelona this summer, the Dutchmen will be looking for a club with Champions League football. This is something Chelsea can offer that Manchester United can not. Chelsea is looking at another Manchester United target Frenkie De Jong, it is believed the Blues is the favorites now to sign the Dutch international.

MANCHESTER UNITED and Chelsea are again linked with the same transfer target.

The Blues still view United as a rival and do not want to be seen to strengthen Ten Hag's squad. But it appears they will have to look elsewhere from the 23-year-old. Owner Todd Boehly is thinking about making a move for the 30-year-old. The Blues are reportedly interested in signing [Real Madrid](/latest/real-madrid-fc) midfielder Casemiro, and will also block United's interest in Christian Pulisic. Casemiro emerged as a target for the Red Devils earlier this week. [Transfer news LIVE: Man Utd close to fourth signing, Chelsea agreement](/sport/football/1656211/Transfer-news-LIVE-Man-Utd-Moises-Caicedo-Casemiro-Matheus-Cunha-Chelsea-Cristiano-Ronaldo)

Chelsea and Manchester United look set to lock horns this summer as the transfer deadline draws closer.

Shortly after Tchouameni snubbed [Chelsea](https://www.football.london/chelsea-fc/) and penned a six-year deal at the Santiago Bernabeu, Casemiro faced an increasingly uncertain future in the Spanish capital. Though, the report said that the La Liga champions will 'gladly' keep the him for the time being if he drops his desire for an improved deal. It's said that Aurelien Tchouameni emerged as a potential replacement, but Real swooped in and hijacked the Blues' interest. Chelsea look set to hand Manchester United a major blow in the race to sign Real Madrid's Casemiro, according to reports. [Marca](https://www.marca.com/en/football/real-madrid/2022/01/28/61f3ece3ca47417b728b4583.html), the France international was - ironically - identified by Carlo Ancelotti as the ['perfect replacement for Casemiro'](https://www.football.london/chelsea-fc/news/chelsea-takeover-real-madrid-transfer-23412728).

Chelsea have made solid additions to their squad during the summer transfer window. Raheem Sterling and Marc Cucurella, among others, seem like top signings.

The only slight question mark would be around Chelsea paying such a large fee for a player who has already reached the age of 30. However, the report suggests that [Chelsea](https://www.teamtalk.com/chelsea) have been looking at the star for a longer period. However, he has performed consistently for years, and nothing over the past season or so has suggested that will stop any time soon. Should they land him, Casemiro would be a great addition to the Chelsea side. Chelsea are keen on Real Madrid star Casemiro per reports, and they could snatch him from the Spanish side with a big offer. They are targeting a big name to help them ascend the table, too.

Manchester United have their eye on five signings, including Real Madrid midfielder Casemiro, while Everton want Adnan Januzaj, and Naby Keita could leave.

They have Eduardo Camavinga and Aurelien Tchouameni in their squad, so are well stocked for the future, making this potentially a sensible time to raise funds from the player’s sale.

But the Red Devils will leave no stone unturned to bring the Real Madrid veteran to Old Trafford in the ongoing transfer window. And the Red Devils have submitted an enquiry to Real Madrid, who might not be open to selling the 30-year-old.

The Red Devils have approached Real Madrid for the Brazilian midfield powerhouse while offering him a five-year contract to boot. Shoring up the holding midfield slot had to be a priority for the Red Devils, with Matic leaving a gaping hole at Old Trafford despite his advancing age. But with the Dutch midfielder uninterested in leaving Barcelona, Manchester United set sights on Adrien Rabiot,
