It is not official yet, but it is an accepted fact by those involved in the matter: Casemiro will become a new Manchester United player this weekend.
As MARCA revealed, Manchester United officials arrived in Madrid this week with their sights set on him.
Real Madrid and the English club have reached a complete understanding this Friday for the Brazilian, as Josep Pedrerol and Fabrizio Romano have announced.
The deal is worth around 60 million euros fixed plus 10 million euros in variables of varying degrees of difficulty, a formula very often used by Real Madrid.
As the Old Trafford club are obliged to do, the exact details of these amounts will be revealed, leaving all parties extremely satisfied.
Therefore, Real Madrid will earn a minimum of 48 million euros with this sale, taking into account the income from his loan to Porto and what was previously invested in his signing, and then in exercising the buy-back option to bring him back from Portugal.
Being a footballer who has been fully amortised in all aspects, and with this injection of money, a ‘no’ was practically impossible.
Casemiro could not refuse
The same goes for Casemiro, who had been feeling that his time at the Santiago Bernabeu was coming to an end.
In England, his salary will be close to, but not quite double what he is currently earning.
In addition, his contract will run until 2026 with the possibility of extending it to 2027, while at Madrid, his contract ran until 2025.
These factors have been the most decisive, over and above the fact that United are not playing in the Champions League and are experiencing an institutional and sporting crisis.
Real Madrid are already preparing a farewell to a legend who has achieved 18 titles through silence and hard work.
Casemito, as he was nicknamed in the dressing room, said goodbye to the club on Friday.
Earlier he had met with Ancelotti, who respectfully accepted his position.
And then he began planning his imminent arrival in Manchester with Manchester United.
