Manchester United remain prepared to offer Casemiro a new deal, but only if the midfielder agrees to a reduced salary. The Brazilian is in the final year of his contract, though the club hold an option to add a further 12 months. Triggering that option would mean Casemiro would keep his existing pay packet for 2026\u201327, so United want to restructure his contract to relieve the wage bill.<\/p>\n
Capology lists Casemiro as the club\u2019s highest earner at \u00a3350,000 ($465,520) a week, having joined the club from Real Madrid in 2022. According to ESPN, United are willing to offer the midfielder an extension on the condition that he takes a \u201csizable\u201d pay cut.<\/p>\n
Casemiro\u2019s form has shown signs of improvement under Amorim, but Sir Jim Ratcliffe\u2019s priority of reducing the highest earners on the wage book keeps the player\u2019s future uncertain. Ratcliffe has recently reasserted his backing of the under-pressure Amorim, who faces expectations to refresh United\u2019s midfield next summer.<\/p>\n
While Casemiro has previously been linked with an exit, the club also face potential changes elsewhere in central midfield. The likes of Kobbie Mainoo and Manuel Ugarte may look for new opportunities at the end of the current campaign. United have also been linked with Brighton & Hove Albion\u2019s Carlos Baleba; the Seagulls resisted what the report described as a rather tame approach from United in the summer.<\/p>\n
With the option in Casemiro\u2019s existing contract keeping his salary intact if triggered, the club\u2019s stated intention is to reach a new agreement that eases the financial burden rather than simply activating the 12-month extension on the current terms. Any decision over a restructured deal will shape United\u2019s midfield planning heading into the next transfer window.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
