Casemiro could undergo medical
Manchester United is widely thought to want to get this deal wrapped up in time so Casemiro can face Liverpool on Monday night.
United desperately needs to strengthen the team’s midfield and Casemiro is regarded as one of the best in the world in his position.
The Telegraph reported earlier today that Manchester United was ‘confident’ of a deal for Casemiro, which is expected to cost around £60 million.
He has been at Real Madrid since 2013, signed under Jose Mourinho, and has gone on to win five Champions League trophies and three La Liga titles.
Casemiro would become Manchester United’s fourth signing after Tyrell Malacia, Christian Eriksen, and Lisandro Martinez, and would be a major coup.
The move also comes on the back of supporter unrest after what has appeared to be a very poorly planned transfer window so far, with United spending three months chasing Frenkie de Jong, before turning to Casemiro.
