AC Milan plotting shock move for Manchester United midfielder Casemiro | OneFootball

AC Milan are showing an interest in signing Manchester United midfielder Casemiro, as per reports.

United have been trying to get rid of Casemiro since last summer but the club’s highest-paid player is yet to find a new destination.

The ex-Real Madrid man arrived at Old Trafford in 2022 amid much fanfare to fix the Red Devils’ midfield issues.

The five-time Champions League winner enjoyed a positive start but a sharp physical decline in his second season underlined why Los Blancos were happy to part ways with their star defensive midfielder.

Fast forward to now, Casemiro has become a sort of burden at Old Trafford, owing to his poor performances and astronomical wages, believed to be around £350,000-per-week.

Despite facing an injury crisis, Ruben Amorim is doing his best to not start the 33-year-old midfielder and has instead placed his trust in Bruno Fernandes to play a deeper role alongside Manuel Ugarte.

AC Milan could sign Manchester United midfielder Casemiro

According to a report in Spain, Milan could ease United’s concerns and hand Casemiro an opportunity to move to newer pastures.

As per Fichajes, Milan have set their sights on the veteran midfielder ahead of the summer.

The Rossoneri believe his leadership qualities could be key for Sérgio Conceição’s side and the Brazil international’s presence would make them more coherent, tactically.

It is added that United are open to selling Casemiro if they receive a convincing offer and Milan could take advantage of the situation.

However, his ridiculous contract that still has more than 12 months left to run could create “obstacles in the operation.”

Recently, The Peoples Person covered a report claiming Casemiro is not ready to “give up a penny” to join a new club. A nightmare situation for Ineos who are desperate to trim the side’s wage bill.
