Recently, there has been a buzz about the possible return of Brazilian star Casemiro to the Brazilian league. However, veteran Brazilian journalist Jorge Nicolas has given a categorical denial to this rumor. He said bluntly that the possibility of Casemiro returning to the Brazilian league is almost zero. This opinion stems from the high salary contract Casemiro is currently signing at Manchester United. Casemiro is reportedly the highest paid player in the United squad, earning a whopping £18.2 million per year, a salary that is virtually unrivaled in the Brazilian league. In light of this, Jorge Nicolas has urged fans to "stop fantasizing about such a possibility".
Despite the fact that Casemiro failed to start in a loss to Liverpool and there have been rumors of his possible departure this summer, with even a Brazilian side rumored to be in the mix, Jorge Nicola's analysis suggests 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 a high transfer fee to United. He specifically mentioned the Saudi Arabian league as one of Casemiro's possible next homes. This view not only reflects Casemiro's appeal in the transfer market, but also the importance he places on his salary package.
