Recently, veteran Brazilian journalist Jorge Nicolas gave his opinion on the news surrounding the possible return of Brazilian international Casemiro to the Brazilian league. He was adamant that the likelihood of Casemiro returning to Brazil is slim to none, a view that stems from the lucrative contract he is currently signing at Manchester United. At United, Casemiro is reportedly earning £18.2 million per year, making him the highest paid player in the team, a deal that is rare in the Brazilian league. Based on this, Jorge Nicolas advised fans to "not take such rumors seriously".
Despite the fact that Casemiro has not made his Premier League debut since the loss to Liverpool, and that there have been rumors of his possible departure this summer, even with the Brazilian side, Jorge Nicolas believes that if Casemiro does want to leave United, he is more likely to join clubs that are able to offer comparable salaries to those he currently earns and are willing to pay a transfer fee to United. He specifically mentions the Saudi League as a possible next stop for Casemiro, a proposition that highlights Casemiro's value in the transfer market and the importance he places on his salary package.
