As rumors swirl about the possible return of Brazilian international Casemiro to the Brazilian league, veteran Brazilian journalist Jorge Nicolas has spoken out and said that the rumors are unfounded. He asserted that there is no way that Casemiro will return to the Brazilian game, which came as a bolt from the blue. The reason for this is that Casemiro's current remuneration package at Manchester United is too generous - £18.2 million a year, a rarity in the Brazilian league - and it's hard to find a salary that matches it. So he advised fans: "Do not take such rumors seriously."
Despite the fact that Casemiro has not started since the defeat to Liverpool and has been rumored to be on the verge of a possible departure this summer, even to the extent of being linked with a Brazilian club, Jorge Nicholas is convinced that if Casemiro were to leave United, it would be more likely that he would join a club that offers a similar salary to the one he is currently on and that would be able to pay a high transfer fee to United. He specifically mentioned the Saudi Arabian league as one of Casemiro's potential options, which certainly highlights Casemiro's appeal in the transfer market and his salary sensitivity.
