Casemiro has appeared on the radar at Bayern Munich, so you know Kicker to be revealed on Thursday. The Manchester United midfielder is only in his first season in the Premier League and still has a long-term contract, but that hasn’t stopped Thomas Tuchel from throwing a line. Casemiro must become part of a six-player defensive block at Bayern.
Kicker writes that Tuchel is ‘very charmed’ by Casemiro. The German trainer is busy forming a defensive six-piece and sees an important role for the Brazilian in this. Within the current selection, neither Joshua Kimmich, Leon Goretzka and Ryan Gravenberch meet the requirements. The recently recruited Konrad Laimer, who was taken over from RB Leipzig, has not yet been entrusted with that task.
However, Casemiro still has a contract until mid-2026 and has already stated several times that he is in a good place at United. The 31-year-old midfielder made the switch from Real Madrid last summer and is an important link in Erik ten Hag’s team. The Mancunians Real Madrid transferred no less than seventy million euros for the services of Casemiro, so that a departure will not be obvious soon.
Casemiro often forms a defensive midfield block with Christian Eriksen at United, with Bruno Fernandes being moved into a slightly more attacking role. After three quarters of a season, the counter stands at 42 games in all competitions. In it, the Brazilian managed to score five times and acted as the principal six times. With the win of the EFL Cup, Casemiro has taken his first prize as a United player. In the service of Real, he won the Champions League five times.
