Manchester United midfielder Casemiro is weighing a crucial decision over his future as his lucrative £375,000-a-week contract nears its final stretch. The 33-year-old Brazilian, who joined United from Real Madrid in 2022, is attracting interest from clubs in Brazil and the Saudi Pro League, according to reports. With his current deal entering its final year, United must soon decide whether to trigger a 12-month extension clause that would keep him at Old Trafford until 2027 — and on his existing high salary.
Despite speculation over his long-term role, Casemiro has recently reestablished himself as a vital part of manager Rúben Amorim’s system. The veteran midfielder has been tasked with anchoring United’s midfield in the club’s evolving 3-4-3 setup, providing stability and defensive cover in front of a three-man back line. His form and leadership have reportedly impressed Amorim, who views him as a key component in restoring balance to the squad.
The decision facing United’s hierarchy is a delicate one: extend the contract of a seasoned leader with proven pedigree or allow one of the club’s highest earners to move on next summer. For Casemiro, the next few months could determine whether his Premier League chapter continues — or if a final big move abroad beckons.
