After so much drama in the Manchester United camp, things seem to get more interesting. After rumors of letting Casemiro go in the next window, Paris Saint-Germain is reported to be interested in the Brazilian. Initially reported as having links with a Saudi Pro League move to play with Cristiano Ronaldo, PSG’s interest may add a twist to the story. Are the talks between Saudi clubs and Casemiro over, or does the Paris club have anything more absorbing?

The 31-year-old has been sidelined for the past few weeks with consecutive injuries. After helping the club score eight goals and six assists last season, 2023 hasn’t been fruitful for the defensive midfielder. Subsequently, under a lot of scrutiny, Manchester United would have decided to make some money through him.

The Paris-based club has already made a lot of changes to their squad. Even though their attack looks formidable, they wish to strengthen their middle and back line. Casemiro would be an excellent option for them. With additional expertise in the UEFA Champions League, the player is gaining interest from the French champions, who are very interested, according to BBC.

The January window opens after a couple of weeks, and both Manchester United and PSG will look to boost their squads. Acquiring Casemiro will be a plus, considering his experience with Real Madrid, winning five Champions League titles. Additionally, the player also won three FIFA Club World Cups.

The Brazilian’s reunion with Cristiano Ronaldo could be at risk

The Saudi Pro League is still hunting for top players to raise standards. Early reports suggested the Brazilian player was ready to move to Al Nassr after Cristiano Ronaldo convinced him. They also reported that their rivals, Al Hilal, decided to offer $19 million. But nothing is concrete from the player’s side until now. But the star returning to his also old teammate can also add value to Al Nassr’s midfield. The two have paired successfully at real Madrid playing 121 matches together.

The two players also won 4 UEFA Champions League together which can help Al Nassr’s AFC Champions League pursuit. However, one obstacle for Saudi clubs to acquire him is the eight-player limit. The teams would have to let go of one of their players to make way for other stars mid-season. But Manchester United, on the other end, will look for the best deal for the 31-year-old, irrespective of the location.

One take at a time
