In response to recent rumors about the possible return of Brazilian international Casemiro to the Brazilian league, renowned Brazilian journalist Jorge Nicolas has given a clear response. He stated that it is unlikely that Casemiro will return to play in Brazil, an assertion based on Casemiro's current high-paying contract at Manchester United. Casemiro is reportedly the highest paid player in the United squad, earning a whopping £18.2 million per year, a salary level that would be difficult to match in the Brazilian league. Therefore, Jorge Nicolas advised fans to "forget such stories".
Despite the fact that Casemiro has not made his Premier League debut since the loss to Liverpool and has been rumored to be on the verge of a possible departure this summer with rumors of a Brazilian side, Jorge Nicolas believes that a more likely scenario for Casemiro, if he were to leave, would be to join a club that could offer something close to his current salary and pay Manchester United a transfer fee. He specifically mentions the Saudi League as one of Casemiro's possible options, reflecting Casemiro's appeal in the transfer market and his consideration of salary.
