Casemiro will not accept any offers to join Galatasaray before the Turkish transfer market ends next week. He is committed to fighting for his spot at Manchester United.
The Istanbul club is considering a move for the Brazil midfielder, who was withdrawn at half-time in United’s defeat to Liverpool at Old Trafford on Sunday. His blunders led to two goals by Luis Diaz.
Casemiro’s form has slipped since his impressive first season at United after a £70 million transfer from Real Madrid in 2022.
The 32-year-old was left out of Brazil’s squad for the next World Cup qualifiers against Ecuador and Paraguay.
Casemiro’s position at Manchester United is under threat from Manuel Ugarte, who joined from Paris Saint-Germain for £50.5 million last week. However, he has no plans to leave the club at this time.
Casemiro is determined to stay at Manchester United and will reject any offers from Turkey
Despite the threat to his position, the £375k-per-week midfielder wants to fight for it.
He was hooked at half-time during United’s defeat by Liverpool after an error-filled performance.
He is the club’s highest earner at £375,000 per week, and Galatasaray, which has until a week on Friday to make a deal before the Turkish deadline, is unlikely to be able to afford his wages.
United expect Casemiro to return to training after the international break in preparation for their next game against Southampton.
The club has been open to bids for the five-time Champions League winner, with former football director John Murtough visiting Saudi Arabia in December to assess the amount of interest.
However, no bids were submitted before the Saudi Pro League market closed on Monday night.
