The rumors of Casemiro's return, which have been making waves in Brazilian football, finally have an authoritative voice. Veteran Brazilian media personality Jorge Nicolas has made it clear that the chances of Casemiro returning to the Brazilian league are almost nil. This conclusion is based on the high contract Casemiro signed with Manchester United. It is reported that Casemiro's annual salary at United is a whopping £18.2 million, which is an unimaginable salary level in the Brazilian league. Therefore, he advised fans not to take the "fairy tale" of a return to the Brazilian league seriously.
Despite Casemiro's replacement in the Premier League starting XI after suffering the loss to Liverpool and rumors of his possible departure this summer, even with Brazilian clubs, Jorge Nicola's analysis suggests that if Casemiro is indeed looking for a new owner, his more likely choices will be clubs that can offer a similar package to his current salary and are willing to pay the Manchester United transfer fee. He specifically mentioned the Saudi Arabian league. He singles out the Saudi Arabian league as an attractive option for Casemiro in the transfer market, but also as a reflection of his thoughtful approach to his salary package.
