The recent news of a possible return of Brazilian international Casemiro to the Brazilian league has been making the rounds, and veteran Brazilian journalist Jorge Nicolas has responded to it with a hammer blow. He categorically denied the possibility of Casemiro's return, a view that stems from the lucrative annual salary Casemiro currently holds at Manchester United. Casemiro is reportedly the highest paid player at United, earning a whopping £18.2 million a year, a high salary that is rare in the Brazilian league. As a result, Jorge Nicolas has advised fans to "not take these rumors seriously".
Despite the fact that Casemiro has not started a Premier League game since a defeat to Liverpool and there have been rumors of his possible departure this summer, even with rumors of a Brazilian club, Jorge Nicola analyzes that if Casemiro is indeed leaving United, it is more likely that he will join a team that offers a club that matches his current salary and is willing to pay a high transfer fee to Manchester United. He also mentioned the possibility of the Saudi Arabian League as a possible destination for him. He specifically mentioned the Saudi League as one of the options Casemiro might consider, which speaks volumes about Casemiro's appeal in the transfer market and the importance he places on his salary package.
