The recent buzz about the possible return of Brazilian star Casemiro to the Brazilian league has been met with a direct response from veteran Brazilian journalist Jorge Nicolas. He categorically stated that the possibility of Casemiro's return to the Brazilian league is almost nil, an opinion based mainly on the high annual salary contract he signed at Manchester United. It has been revealed that Casemiro earns £18.2 million per year at United, a salary level rarely seen in the Brazilian league, so he advised fans "not to take these rumors seriously".
Despite the fact that Casemiro has not started since his injury in a game against Liverpool, and that rumors of his possible departure continued during the summer transfer window, even with rumors of a Brazilian team, Jorge Nicholas analyzes that, if Casemiro is really going to leave United, it is more likely that he will join a club that can offer a similar salary package to his current one, and that is willing to pay a high transfer fee. In particular, he pointed out that the Saudi League could be one of Casemiro's options, a view that reflects not only Casemiro's attractiveness in the transfer market, but also the importance he places on his salary package.
