Casemiro faces a big decision on his future as his situation hangs in the balance amid contract extension talks with Manchester United.

According to Football Insider, Casemiro may have to decide on his immediate future amid talk of a contract extension with Manchester United. The veteran midfielder has big interest from Saudi Arabia, which could put him in a strong position when negotiating with the Red Devils on fresh terms.

Casemiro has been the subject of transfer talks over the last few windows, as the midfielder was not seen as a big presence in the squad. His massive wages have been problematic for the club in terms of re-adjusting their finances, but there could be a big decision on the Brazilian international.

There were rumours of interest from Saudi Arabia back in the summer, but the Manchester United veteran ended up staying at the club. Part of the decision was the club’s inability to find a suitable replacement in the market following their failed pursuit of Carlos Baleba.

There’s still interest from Saudi Arabia, with Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr angling for a move alongside others in the league. Hence, there’s a decision for Casemiro to make about his future, as there’s also the option of staying at Manchester United.

Manchester United would extend his deal if he were to take a pay cut, something the midfielder will ponder when negotiating over fresh terms. As things stand, the decision is for the Manchester United veteran to make about his future, with things likely to go either way at the moment.

Casemiro to stay at Manchester United?

The Saudi clubs are not alone as sides from Brazil are also keen to sign the Manchester United veteran. As things stand, the Red Devils have an option to extend Casemiro’s deal beyond its expiry point in the summer of 2026 to another season, but they are not planning to trigger that and instead offer an altogether new deal.

The issue will once again be centred around his wages, as Casemiro is currently in a strong position to get paid a big sum at Old Trafford or choose the riches of Saudi Arabia. Hence, the coming period will be key to determining the Manchester United veteran’s future, as there’s every chance he stays at the club.
