For weeks rumors have been swirling around about Al Nassr‘s interest in signing Manchester United‘s defensive midfielder Casemiro. However, recent reports suggest that the club’s coach, Erik ten Hag, still requires the Brazilian’s services.

The transfer saga surrounding Casemiro has been an intriguing one. While several teams in Saudi Arabia have expressed their interest in acquiring his talents, even French giants Paris Saint-Germain are reportedly keen on signing him. Yet, Fabrizio Romano revealed that there are currently no concrete plans for his move.

He further clarified that there are no negotiations but also added, “Of course, in case they receive a very important proposal, maybe from Saudi this could change, but at the moment there are no negotiations at all between Casemiro and any Saudi club, not even with Paris Saint-Germain.” The journalist then gave an update that may come as a disappointment to fans hoping for the Cristiano Ronaldo-Casemiro reunion.
