‘It would be a dream’… Former Premier League star wants to reunite with £60m Manchester United ace, already made up his mind

And yet, with the Copa America starting the same weekend, Casemiro is left out of Brazil’s squad after a difficult season for Manchester United.

Casemiro’s future at Old Trafford is on shaky ground. Manchester United proved capable of beating Manchester City without him in the FA Cup final and the club are said to be looking to cash in and get his expensive contract off the books.

Lucas Moura wants Casemiro at Sao Paulo

The upcoming Casemiro documentary chronicles his career from the beginning, when he started playing for Sao Paulo.

This was also the club where Lucas Moura began his career, with Sir Alex Ferguson trying and failing to sign the winger in 2012, losing out to Paris Saint-Germain.

After a spell with Tottenham, which happened to spoil Erik ten Hag’s Champions League dream, Lucas returns to Sao Paulo.

And as reported by Vamo Futebol, Lucas is keen for Casemiro to join him at the club where it all started and has hinted that he has already contacted the Manchester United midfielder.

Speaking to TNT Sports, the winger said: “He would be a dream, one of the best midfielders in the world, and created here in Cotia. Casemiro, I already said, hey, let’s go back, let’s play here together a little more, let’s recreate that duo!”

He is aware, however, that it is not too practical, especially when Manchester United are looking for a huge fee – for a player whose wages are above what Sao Paulo can pay.

Lucas added: “I think his situation is more difficult, he still has a contract with Manchester (United). He has a lot of wood to burn, it’s a more delicate situation, but if he wants, we’ll try to find a way here.”

Casemiro made up his mind

The dream move to bring Casemiro back to Sao Paulo will have to wait. According to Bola VIP, Casemiro has completely ruled out a move back to Brazil right now.

Instead, he sees his next move playing in either the Saudi Pro League or even MLS.

Of the two options, the Saudi options are more likely to emerge due to Manchester United’s desire to command a high price for his signature.

Despite wanting to get his wages off the books, United are not looking to cash in on the cheap. At least that is the negotiating position as the summer transfer window begins.
