Recently, there has been a lot of talk about the possible return of Brazilian international Casemiro to the Brazilian league, however, Brazilian media journalist Jorge Nicolas has given a firm no to the rumors. He pointed out that the possibility of Casemiro's return to the Brazilian league is almost nil, a view that stems mainly from the lucrative contract he signed at Manchester United. It is reported that Casemiro's salary at United is as high as £18.2 million per year, making him the "number one" on the team's payroll, which is hard to find in the Brazilian league. Therefore, Jorge Nicolas advised the fans "not to take these rumors seriously".
Despite the fact that Casemiro has not been given a Premier League start since the loss to Liverpool, and that he has been rumored to be on the verge of a possible departure this summer, even with rumors of a move to a Brazilian club, Jorge Nicholas is convinced that if Casemiro does choose to leave United, it is more likely that he will join a club that can offer a salary comparable to the one he is currently earning, and that is willing to pay a hefty fee to United. He specifically mentioned the Saudi League as one of the potential places for Casemiro to go, highlighting his appeal in the transfer market and the importance he places on his salary package.
