The Manchester United star is in talks with Bayern Munich and a quick decision has already been made

Manchester United are trying to move away from short-term solutions after still starting to emerge last season.

While there was concern that Casemiro would be a quick fix for Manchester United’s midfield in 2022/23, the bigger fear was that he would disappear almost immediately, as we saw with Bastian Schweinsteiger.

What we saw from Casemiro in his first season at Old Trafford was excellent, so at the start of last season nobody expected the club to have to replace him in 2024.

However, that is exactly where we are. Casemiro’s form dipped, he began to struggle with fitness issues, and when he missed the FA Cup final, it didn’t hurt the team, who won without him.

Casemiro is expected to be sold this summer, with a potential move to Saudi Arabia heavily looming, with Fabrizio Romano reporting there is a “good chance” he will leave.

Bayern Munich hold talks with Casemiro

A curveball has been thrown into the mix regarding Casemiro’s future, at least briefly. Interest from Bayern Munich.

Brazilian outlet Trivela claim Casemiro has held talks with German giants Bayern Munich over a move.

It has been claimed that Casemiro has been “lured” by Bayern’s interest, but the Bundesliga club have already made a decision not to continue negotiations.

Bayern are focused on signing Joao Palhinha from Fulham and their interest in Casemiro will not go beyond the initial inquiry.

Manchester United want a big fee for Casemiro, while his expensive wages mean he will have to take a discount to sign elsewhere – unless he lands a more lucrative move to the Saudi Pro League.

Manchester United are waiting for the Saudi approach

Casemiro’s openness to move to the Saudi Pro League has not yet become clear.

His interest in a potential move to Bayern shows that staying in European football still appeals – but it’s hard to see where his options lie.

For now, Manchester United are waiting for an offer. A quick resolution would help all parties, freeing up funds for the Red Devils to spend.

Casemiro is out of the Copa America after being surprisingly left out of Brazil’s squad. This gives him a chance to focus on his future in the coming weeks.

If there are no offers then he will return to United for pre-season, where he has two years left on his expensive contract.
