Recently, news of Brazilian international Casemiro's possible return to the Brazilian league has been making the rounds, and veteran Brazilian journalist Jorge Nicola was quick to respond to this, bluntly stating that the likelihood of Casemiro's return to the Brazilian league is slim to none. This view stems mainly from Casemiro's current lucrative annual contract at Manchester United. It is reported that Casemiro earns £18.2 million per year at United, a salary level that is almost unmatched in the Brazilian league, so Jorge Nicola advised fans to "stop fantasizing about such rumors".
Although Casemiro has not started since a loss to Liverpool and there have been rumors of his possible departure this summer, even with the Brazilian side, Jorge Nicolas analyzes that if Casemiro were to leave United, it is more likely that he would join a club that could offer him a salary that matches his current one and would be willing to pay a hefty transfer fee. He specifically mentioned the Saudi Arabian league as one of Casemiro's potential downfalls, a proposition that not only highlights Casemiro's appeal in the transfer market, but also reflects the importance he places on his salary package when choosing a new owner.
