Reports suggest Casemiro, the five-time Champions League winner and Manchester United\u2019s top earner, may be prepared to lower his salary to enable a summer transfer to Inter Miami. Sky Sports News say the Herons are among several U.S. clubs linked with the midfielder and that their chief advantage is Lionel Messi.<\/p>\n
The account adds that Casemiro\u2019s regard for the eight-time Ballon d\u2019Or winner could prompt a pay compromise. That concession would matter given the strict wage regulations in place across MLS, which can constrain negotiations even for high-profile targets.<\/p>\n
Casemiro has a long history of facing Messi on the biggest stages and, on occasion, has spoken warmly of the Argentine. \u201cI think that Messi marked an era,\u201d Casemiro told Placar in the summer of 2023. \u201cHe\u2019s always been a rival, he\u2019s always been at Barcelona, he\u2019s always been at Argentina. There\u2019s no escaping him.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was a pleasure to watch him play, it was a pleasure to play against him. I didn\u2019t have the opportunity to play with him, unfortunately,\u201d he added. At that time Messi was seeking a new club after leaving Paris Saint-Germain earlier that summer. \u201cIf you want more, I\u2019m there too,\u201d Casemiro laughed. Is the door open, he was asked. \u201cFor Messi, yes!\u201d<\/p>\n
Despite supporters and some teammates repeatedly urging the midfielder to remain for \u201cone more year,\u201d the 34-year-old appears set on leaving Manchester United. On that subject he has been equally clear. \u201cI don\u2019t think there\u2019s a chance, there\u2019s no chance,\u201d Casemiro told ESPN . \u201cMostly because of what I said, you know? Go out the big door, I think it was four beautiful, wonderful years and I am eternally grateful not only to the club, but to the fans.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut I think I have to leave in good terms, I have to go out on top. I will be an eternal United fan here in England and I just have to thank all the love from the fans.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
