3 transfer moves Real Madrid should make this summer by Divyam Agarwal Manchester United and Real Madrid reached an agreement for the transfer of Casemiro a few days ago. The fee could rise to as much as £70m with add-ons, and while many fans would be loath to see the club let the Brazil legend go, it’s also not hard to see why Los Blancos could have accepted such an offer for 30-year-old defensive midfielder. Casemiro’s move to Old Trafford is only a matter of time, but it certainly seems to have taken a lot longer than expected. Rumors suggested the Red Devils had plans to unveil Casemiro as a Manchester United player ahead of their match against Liverpool. But now, it seems those plans have fallen through due to unforeseen circumstances. As reported by The Athletic (via the Mirror), Manchester United have yet to obtain a visa for Casemiro, who will not be present for the match against Liverpool at Old Trafford.
Casemiro’s move from Real Madrid to Manchester United hits roadblock
There is no doubt that Casemiro’s move to Manchester United will be made official soon, but for now it seems that he has been delayed a bit due to visa issues. On the other hand, it didn’t feel like Real Madrid felt Casemiro’s absence when they faced Celta Vigo and took a 4-1 away win. Luka Modric was at his dazzling best while Eduardo Kamavinga and Aurelien Tswameni put in very impressive performances in the middle of the park as well. So there is hope that Real Madrid could be fine this season even without Casemiro. It will be interesting to see if Los Blancos actually decide to sign a replacement for Casemiro or not. They have been linked with Bruno Guimaraes and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, but at the same time, Carlo Ancelotti appeared to hint that the club could stick with the options they already have rather than bring in a new face this summer. .
