**Manchester, England -** Real Madrid are reportedly considering a move to re-sign their former midfielder Casemiro from Manchester United, but the Brazilian is said to be unwilling to return to the Bernabeu. Despite a difficult 18 months at Old Trafford, including criticism from pundit Gary Neville who called him one of United’s worst signings, Casemiro remains a first-team player.
However, Manchester United’s new manager, Ruben Amorim, reportedly sees Manuel Ugarte and Kobbie Mainoo as his preferred midfield pairing, potentially making Casemiro surplus to requirements. While reports suggest Amorim may be willing to sell Casemiro at a significant loss, the Brazilian is reportedly optimistic about the future under the new manager and is not looking to leave in January.
Real Madrid’s interest stems from injuries to key midfielders and the desire to use Casemiro to mentor younger players like Eduardo Camavinga and Aurelien Tchouameni. His versatility, enabling him to play both in midfield and at centre-back, is also an attractive proposition for the Spanish giants. However, Casemiro believes his time at Real Madrid is over and has no interest in a return. The 32-year-old is focused on contributing to Manchester United’s next chapter.
