As rumors swirl about a possible return to the Brazilian league for Brazilian international Casemiro, veteran Brazilian journalist Jorge Nicola has spoken out decisively to set the record straight. He said that the possibility of Casemiro's return to the Brazilian league is slim to none, a view that stems from Casemiro's lucrative contract at Manchester United. It is reported that Casemiro has become United's highest paid player at £18.2 million a year, a sum that has few rivals in the Brazilian league. As such, Jorge Nicolas has exhorted fans to "stop dwelling on these kinds of rumors."
Despite the fact that Casemiro failed to start a game against Liverpool and there have been rumors of his possible departure this summer, even with rumors of a Brazilian side, Jorge Nicolas analyzes that if Casemiro is indeed leaving United, it is more likely that he will join a club that can offer a salary that matches his current one and is willing to pay United a high transfer fee. He specifically mentioned the Saudi Arabian league as one of the possible destinations for Casemiro, highlighting the strong appeal of Casemiro in the transfer market and the value he places on his salary package.
