DBasia.news – Finally, Manchester United’s wait to bring in new players has come true. The player who will come to Old Trafford is Real Madrid’s defensive midfielder, Casemiro.
Erik ten Hag asked Manchester United management to bring in a new midfielder. Not without reason, Man United lost a number of pillars in midfield this summer. Paul Pogba, Jesse Lingard and Juan Mata are three of them.
In addition, of course, Ten Hag needs a midfielder who can understand his tactics. This is important for a new coach like Ten Hag.
The first choice is Frenkie de Jong. Ten Hag has understood De Jong’s game because he had polished it at Ajax Amsterdam.
Negotiations with Barcelona had been tough. However, with a disbursement of 75 million euros plus a bonus of 10 million euros, the Blaugrana gave the green light.
However, problems arise because De Jong is reluctant to move. The Dutchman chose to stay even though Barca also wanted him to leave.
Because it never finished, Man United turned to Adrien Rabiot. Incidentally, Juventus also wanted to cash in on the midfielder. As a result, an offer of 17 million euros was accepted by the Bianconeri.
However, it is not easy to seduce Rabiot to Old Trafford. The player demands a high salary. Not to mention the agent commission which reaches 10 million euros.
Man United did not necessarily give up. Another player was targeted again. This time Madrid’s defensive midfielder, Casemiro.
The difference is, this one transfers quite smoothly. Casemiro says he wants to go to Man United. He has asked Carlo Ancelotti for permission. The player will get a higher salary and a contract until 2027 plus an option to extend it by one year.
Meanwhile, for Real Madrid, funds of 60 million euros plus a bonus of 10 million euros were offered. Fabrizio Romano confirmed that Madrid accepted the offer. Black on white was prepared.
Now, Man United is preparing for a medical test. In addition, the visa for Casemiro was also immediately taken care of.
Finally, Manchester United is one step away from having a new midfielder. He is an experience and merit requisite player, Casemiro.
