Reporter: Flamenco and Palmeiras are interested in Casemiro, but he has a deep relationship with Sao Paulo

According to reporter George Nicholas, 33-year-old Casemiro may leave Manchester United, Flamengo and Palmeiras are interested in introducing it, but his gratitude to Sao Paulo may affect his decision.

Casemiro's name once again attracted attention in Brazilian football. Flamengo and Palmeiras have made initial contact with the Manchester United midfielder to understand his situation. Casemiro, 33, is expected to end his career at the English club after the 2026 World Cup. He is regarded as a heavyweight reinforcement candidate and is a strategic goal for next season.

Flamenco is one of the clubs that are most interested in him, as Casemiro fits the type of players the team is looking for: leadership, international game experience and ability to make key decisions in major matches. In addition, the team management has a history of investing in well-known players to enhance the team's competitiveness.

Although both Flamengo and Palmeiras expressed interest, Casemiro had a special emotional connection with Sao Paulo, where his career started. Nicholas stressed that this gratitude may affect his future choice: "Casemiro never concealed his gratitude to Sao Paulo, which may affect his future decisions."

Casemiro's contract status also provides a basis for various speculations. His contract is mid-2026, which means he will play for another season at Manchester United. Nicholas revealed that his annual salary of about €11 million makes it impractical to stay in England, increasing the possibility that he will return to Brazil or accept other market offers.

Inside Flamenco, Casemiro's name is both exciting and cautious. Management understands that financial factors will be decisive, and even if salary is lowered, Casemiro's salary level will still be higher than the domestic market average. Some people believe that signing him will have an impact similar to Felipe Louis, David Louis and recently Jorginho.

Saudi team is also eyeing it, and competition from the Middle East may be the main opponent of Brazilian clubs. Saudi Arabian clubs such as Riyadh Crescent and Riyadh victory are threats again, and they offer far more compensation than Casemiro earns at Manchester United. Nicholas did not rule out this possibility, but noted that Casemiro had established a stable financial foundation and might prioritize returning home.

There is no immediate decision yet, and Casemiro plans to decide his future only after the World Cup is over. During this period, Flamenco, Palmeiras and Sao Paulo will continue to pay close attention to the developments. The final choice seems to depend on gratitude, sports ambitions and financial viability, which make competition more open.
