Casemiro, the Manchester United midfielder, might be able to depart from Old Trafford this month for a transfer fee, despite the January transfer window nearing its end in the UK. He has become the highest-paid player at the club after Marcus Rashford’s loan transfer to Aston Villa, yet he is currently on the outskirts of the first team. In January, Casemiro was strongly rumored to be moving to the Saudi Pro League, as Cristiano Ronaldo allegedly encouraged Al Nassr to sign him. However, the club decided to spend their resources on Aston Villa forward Jhon Duran, leaving Casemiro without any opportunity to join them. The transfer window for the Saudi Pro League ended before that of the UK, which suggested that the Brazilian could remain sidelined with the United squad until the summer. Fortunately for both United and the player, there is a slim possibility that the Reds could still make a move for Casemiro this month, even though many clubs have closed their windows. According to ESPN, Galatasaray has shown interest in acquiring the midfielder in the past and might reignite that interest as Casemiro’s options dwindle. Unlike many European leagues, the Turkish transfer window is still open until February 11, providing Casemiro with sufficient time to explore a transfer to the Istanbul team. Although United cannot acquire any players from Turkish clubs until next Tuesday, they are permitted to offload members of their squad. As Ineos focuses on reducing expenses, they are likely considering Turkey as a potential option for Casemiro, but it is uncertain whether the former Real Madrid player would be interested in such a transfer. According to MEN Sport, Rashford rejected an opportunity to transfer to Turkey prior to signing with Villa. Since Ruben Amorim’s appointment in November, he has utilized Casemiro in just four Premier League matches. The most recent of these performances took place on December 30 against Newcastle.
