MU liquidates Casemiro, finds immediate replacement
The Red Devils are considering the possibility of recruiting Joao Gomes from Wolves, in case Casemiro is sold next summer.
After Sir Jim Ratcliffe and the INEOS team took over football operations at the Club, MU will conduct a comprehensive cleanup of the squad.
MU plans to sell Casemiro to a partner in Saudi Arabia to cut the salary fund and focus on a squad with younger players.
At 32, the former Real Madrid star has missed 16 games this season due to injury. Casemiro has been unable to join the Brazil squad due to a hamstring problem.
According to Mirror, Wolves midfielder Joao Gomes will likely replace his senior in the friendly match between England and Brazil at Wembley.
If he continues to improve, Joao Gomes will replace Casemiro in the MU squad next season.
It is known that Gomes is the type of midfielder that Sir Jim Ratcliffe is very interested in. The new owner of MU tends to buy potential emerging factors, instead of famous stars.
Wolves signed Gomes from Flamengo a year ago for £12m and are now demanding £40m from any team interested in signing the 23-year-old.
Joao Gomes is also on the radar of Tottenham and Newcastle, with Wolves ready to sell amid financial fair play pressure.
