Manchester United midfielder Casemiro is reportedly offered a staggering £650,000-a-week contract by Al-Nassr and is ready to join the Saudi outfit.

Manchester United midfielder Casemiro has reportedly been offered a staggering £650,000-a-week contract by Al-Nassr, with the Brazilian ready to leave Old Trafford before the end of the January transfer window.

Casemiro, 32, had an outstanding first season at Man United after arriving from Real Madrid in the summer of 2022, but he found it difficult last term and has again struggled during the 2024-25 campaign.

The midfielder has made 22 appearances at club level this term, scoring three times, but he was an unused substitute against Liverpool in the Premier League on Sunday after struggling as a starter against Newcastle United at the end of December.

Casemiro has another 18 months left to run on his Man United deal, which earns him in the region of £350,000 a week, and it had been suggested that the Brazilian was more than happy to remain with the Red Devils until then.

However, the speculation linking him with a move to Al-Nassr, who boast Cristiano Ronaldo in their squad, has gathered pace, and according to GIVEMESPORT, there has now been some serious movement.

Casemiro 'offered £650,000-a-week contract by Al-Nassr'

The report claims that Al-Nassr have offered the former Real Madrid star a £650,000-a-week contract, and Casemiro is ready to make the move to the Saudi Pro League side this month.

Casemiro would become one of the highest earners in the Saudi Pro League if he were to accept the offer, and clubs from Saudi Arabia have until February 3 to complete their business in the current market.

Man United are believed to be looking for a fee in the region of £23m for Casemiro, which is not expected to be too problematic for Al-Nassr considering their financial power.

However, it is likely that the Red Devils would let the midfielder leave for less considering his substantial wages, as securing an exit for the Brazilian would give them room to bring in a mid-season signing.

Would Man United sign a midfielder if Casemiro leaves?

Christian Eriksen is out of contract this summer and could leave this month if the right offer arrives, so the departure of the Denmark international alongside Casemiro would leave Man United short of midfield options.

If that is the case, then it would not be a shock to see a midfielder arrive, but Man United have more pressing issues at this moment in time, with a left-back and a centre-forward wanted by head coach Ruben Amorim this month.

Paris Saint-Germaiun duo Nuno Mendes and Randal Kolo Muani are believed to be on Man United's radar, but whether deals for the pair can be completed depends on outgoings due to financial restrictions.

As well as Casemiro and Eriksen, Victor Lindelof, Antony and Marcus Rashford are being linked with departures, but Joshua Zirkzee is said to be determined to remain at Old Trafford and prove himself to the Red Devils.
