No one has any doubt that Futebol Clube do Porto was extremely important for Casemiro’s career. After standing out at São Paulo, the Brazilian midfielder ended up being bought by the powerful Real Madrid. With no space at the Spanish colossus, the player ended up on loan to the Portuguese club. The deal was made with the possibility of the Dragons acquiring the Brazilian international’s pass. What the blue and white wanted to do.
But the good performances in Portugal led Real Madrid to activate the clause that allowed the player to be redeemed, leaving 7.5 million euros in FC Porto’s coffers. It was then that Casemiro’s career catapulted to other levels. The midfielder cemented his place in the team with which he won 5 Champions Leagues, 3 championships and, among others, a Club World Cup. Given Casemiro’s importance for the team, it was with some surprise that Real Madrid agreed to sell the Brazilian to Manchester United for a price of around 71 million euros.
Casemiro accused of no longer having the best phase of his career
In the 2022/23 season, Casemiro arrives in Manchester with great euphoria from United fans. They have been trying for a long time to regain the title of English champion, which has eluded them since 2012/13. Erik ten Hag praised the qualities of the player who is now seen as… one of the biggest flops ever from Cristiano Ronaldo’s former team. To the point where the player was completely devastated in an article in the Daily Star.
Weekly salary of 407 thousand euros
The newspaper writes that Casemiro did not believe he would be able to receive a weekly salary of 407 thousand euros. Something that will last until you are 35 (you are 32). The Daily Star accuses the player of not having revealed to the club that he had already surpassed his best phase. And that he had physical problems. The publication highlights that Casemiro is indeed Manchester United’s biggest flop in recent years. According to the author of the article, the English club has to send the player to another club, even if it is on loan. At a time when Manchester United are experiencing one of their worst seasons ever, Casemiro is the latest target of criticism.
