Man Utd is now willing to trigger a £8m release clause for Casemiro replacement

United are now willing to trigger the £8 million release clause required to sign the “wonderful” Casemiro replacement, a report said.

Casemiro’s Future in Man Utd

After talks with new Brazilian manager Carlo Ancelotti, the recent extensive coverage suggests Casemiro wants to stay at Man United, which can be viewed as a positive given the 33-year-old ended well by the end of the season.

The 33-year-old made it clear that he was proud of the way he was able to force him back to the starting XI, saying: “Of course, you want to win the championship, but there’s no doubt that it’s one of the most successful seasons of my career. It’s one.

However, it was suggested that the former Real Madrid man was not his former player, while Sky Sports expert Jamie Carragher famously claimed the midfielder should call it a day at the highest level and move to MLS or Saudi Arabia.

Manchester United are now looking at Casemiro’s replacements as the Brazilians are already past and are willing to trigger a £8 million release clause in Wilfred Ndidi’s Leicester City contract, according to a report from Spain.

The Red Devils don’t want to miss the chance to sign Ndidi at such a low fee, have tracked the midfielder for some time and he’s experienced this fact in the Premier League, which means that life shouldn’t be spent too long at Old Trafford.

The 28-year-old is seen as a long-time replacement for Casemiro, but the two midfielders are also likely to be used interchangeably next season if the Brazilian international team is still in the club.

Ndidi could be a “great” casemiro alternative

If Casemiro decides he wants to stay at Old Trafford, it will be hard to get him out of the books given that the midfielder has signed another year of contract and his £350,000 per week salary could be deterred for potential suitors.

However, there are signs that despite Leicester’s relegation from top flight, Ndidi has long been a reliable replacement for the masters, doing well over the past year.

Not only that, but the Nigerian was praised as “wonderful” by media members, and he was experienced in the Premier League, with 220 appearances in the game.

Ndidi has only £8m, which may be a bargaining for Ruben Amorim’s roster, but it looks like Casemiro won’t happen in the near future.
