DBasia.news – Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti has also spoken out about Casemiro wanting to go to Manchester United. Ancelotti says if Casemiro really wants to go to Manchester United, he is ready to let go of Real Madrid.
Manchester United are getting good news in their bid to sign Casemiro. If previously failed to bring Frenkie de Jong and Adrien Rabiot, now the Red Devils can smile.
According to Ancelotti, Casemiro has spoken to him about wanting to leave. The 30-year-old wants to experience a new challenge.
“I have spoken with Casemiro. He wants to try a new challenge. We understand his decision,” said Ancelotti as reported by Fabrizio Romano.
According to reports, Manchester United are willing to disburse 60 million euros plus a bonus of 10 million euros. Meanwhile, Casemiro will be tied to a four-season contract plus a one-year option. Casemiro will also get a higher salary.
“Negotiations are ongoing, but Casemiro has decided to leave Real Madrid,” said the tactician.
Regarding Casemiro’s replacement, Ancelotti insists Madrid will not bring in a new midfielder. Because, Madrid already has a replacement for the Brazilian.
“Casemiro will not feature on Saturday. His replacement? We have signed Tchouameni and he is one of the best in the transfer market. Then, we have Kroos and Camavinga,” said Ancelotti.
“Yesterday, I realized it was a real thing (Casemiro to Manchester United, ed). However, my plans have not changed.”
“My plans will not change with Casemiro leaving because I already have Modric, Kroos, Tchouameni, Ceballos, Fede Valverde and Camavinga. Six midfielders are enough for this season. They are very good.”
Real Madrid is the club that brought Casemiro to Europe since 2013. To increase his flying hours, El Real had loaned Casemiro to FC Porto. So far, Casemiro has appeared in 336 matches with 31 goals and 29 assists. In addition, he also won various titles including five Champions League trophies.
According to the latest news, Real Madrid accepted the offer made by Manchester United. Man United are working to complete medical tests and visa applications this week.
