Reports suggest that Casemiro, despite current challenges with form and fitness at Manchester United, is not considering a January departure.
However, Saudi clubs are reportedly exploring the possibility of acquiring his services at the end of the season. Casemiro, currently sidelined with a hamstring issue, is expected to stay at United until the season concludes.
While there is concrete interest from Saudi clubs, Casemiro is unlikely to leave in the middle of the season. The veteran midfielder is anticipated to depart at the season’s end, according to sources.
Although his name is on the list of potential Saudi targets, indications are that he prefers to stay until at least the campaign’s conclusion.
The January window for Saudi clubs is expected to be challenging, with many waiting to assess the league table before making high-profile signings.
