Real Madrid midfielder Casemiro officially joins Manchester United



Manchester United officially announced on Monday that the 30-year-old Brazilian midfielder Casemiro was transferred from Real Madrid to the Red Devils on a contract until June 2026 (with a one-year extension option). Whether the transfer can be finalized depends on when the player's work visa in the UK is issued.


According to British and Spanish media confirmation, Casemiro's transfer fee can reach up to 70 million euros, of which 60 million euros are a fixed part of the transaction. Many people are undecided about whether the Brazilian midfielder can continue to maintain his state after turning 30 years old, and then worry that the performance of the players will not match his worth, but Casemiro has already proved his world-class midfielder strength: since 2010 , Casemiro played a total of 550 times for Sao Paulo, Porto, Real Madrid and the Brazilian national team, and won 22 championship titles with the team - including 1 Copa America, 5 Champions League and 3 Club World Cups , 3 La Liga champions, 1 King's Cup champion, 3 European Super Cup champions and 3 Western Super Cup champions.


Before Manchester United defeated Liverpool 2-1, Casemiro made his official appearance at Old Trafford, and then moved to the press conference to answer questions from reporters. He told reporters that Eric Ten Hag was the key to his decision to join Manchester United. "I couldn't be more excited to have the opportunity to take on new challenges at Manchester United and in the Premier League," Casemiro said. "I've had many great coaches in my career. After meeting Eric and hearing his philosophy, I can't wait to work closely with him, his team and my new teammates in the years to come."



Casemiro's decision to leave Real Madrid and switch to Manchester United has been questioned by the outside world and the media, but the Brazilian responded that he would go all out to fight for the glory of the Red Devils: "I ended a beautiful period in Madrid. I'm going on another adventure in Manchester. As always, I'm determined to win every game, win trophies, bring glory to the club and make our fans proud."


"Everyone knows the history of Manchester United, the importance of the club around the world and what it means to the fans. It is an honour to represent Manchester United and I am ready to do everything in my power to help the team achieve our great ambitions."
