Man United 'eye' January move for £76m forward as Casemiro price tag 'revealed'
Dealmakers in Saudi Arabia believe Casemiro could be available for less than £25m this month as the Brazilian considers his future at Manchester United.
The five-time Champions League winner, 32, who moved to Old Trafford from Real Madrid for £70m two-and-a-half years ago, was heavily linked with a move away from Old Trafford during the summer after a difficult end to the 2023/24 season.
But after deciding to stay put at United and snub interest from the Saudi Pro League, Casemiro has fallen out of favour under new head coach Ruben Amorim and has featured in just four of the nine Premier League games since his appointment at the end of November.

Now, journalist Ben Jacobs claims that chiefs in Saudi Arabia believe the former Real Madrid midfielder could be available for roughly £23m this month, with Al-Nassr in a strong financial and squad position to acquire Casemiro.
Jacobs also claims Casemiro is "more open" to moving to the Saudi Pro League - where former Real Madrid team-mates Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema ply their trade - than he was at the end of last season.
Meanwhile, it is claimed that United are one of two Premier League clubs eyeing a move for Paris Saint-Germain and France forward Kolo Muani this month.
The Athletic reports that United, Tottenham Hotspur, and Serie A giants Juventus are exploring a loan deal for Muani, who has struggled for form at the Parc de Princes since his £77m move from Eintracht Frankfurt in September 2023.
The 2022 World Cup finalist has scored just two goals in 14 appearances across all competitions this term.
It is claimed that United explored the prospect of signing Muani before Rasmus Hojlund moved to Old Trafford in 2023, though club scouts are said to have "kept tabs" on the Frenchman in the 18 months since.
