Casemiro availability sparks São Paulo interest, talks confirmed | OneFootball

Midfielder Casemiro has already announced that he will not continue at Manchester United from mid-year and has sparked interest from clubs around the world. One of them, obviously, is São Paulo, which introduced the athlete to football.

The traditional English site The Sun even reported that the Tricolor is considering offering Casemiro a two-year contract, with the option to work at the club at the end of the contract. The competition, however, is enormous.

The Brazilian national team player was recently seen enjoying time with his wife in Miami, where the local team is one of the strong candidates to sign the 34-year-old midfielder.

According to the British portal, David Beckham's club has placed Casemiro at the top of its wish list for the midfield after the Spanish player Sergio Busquets announced his retirement last year. Saudi Arabia is also another possibility for the Brazilian, with some clubs monitoring the athlete's future.

RUI COSTA ADMITS INQUIRY

The executive director of São Paulo, Rui Costa, admitted in an interview that he inquired about the situation of the Made in Cotia to know the real possibility of a return to Brazil at this point in his career.

“We were having an afternoon conversation about him in Barra Funda and one of our important athletes sent a message to Casemiro. Who wouldn't want to have Casemiro on their team? I would!” said the director to the Tricolaços channel.

“He immediately responded saying that his plan was not to return to Brazil, that his plan was to remain in another market. It's been some time since it was announced that he would no longer stay at Manchester.”

“Does this mean that São Paulo made an offer to Casemiro? No. São Paulo did not make an offer to Casemiro and it would not be prudent to do so without having a clear scenario of how our athletes would be here, but obviously, I could not omit myself from the role I play of at least understanding if he saw São Paulo as an alternative, and that's what we did. He was very grateful, said it is something that moves him a lot, but at this moment he would not consider returning,” revealed Rui Costa.
