With the recent news of Brazilian star Casemiro's possible return to the Brazilian league, veteran Brazilian journalist Jorge Nicolas has given an outspoken interpretation of the situation. He asserted that the possibility of Casemiro's return to the Brazilian league is extremely low, a view that stems mainly from his lucrative annual salary at Manchester United. Casemiro is reportedly the highest paid player in the United squad, earning £18.2 million per year, a salary that is rare in the Brazilian league. In light of this, Jorge Nicolas has advised fans to "laugh off" such rumors.
Although Casemiro has not started a Premier League game since the defeat to Liverpool and has been rumored to be on the verge of a possible departure this summer, even with rumors of a Brazilian team, Jorge Nicolas analyzes that a more realistic scenario for Casemiro, if he were to make a move, would be to join a club that could offer him a salary that matches his current one and would be willing to pay a transfer fee to Manchester United. He singled out the Saudi Arabian league as one of Casemiro's potential options, highlighting Casemiro's appeal in the transfer market and the importance he places on his salary package.
