Roma have revealed an intriguing behind-the-scenes transfer story involving Manchester United midfielder Casemiro, which emerged during the club’s recent midfield deliberations.
Gianluca Di Marzio reports that as Leandro Paredes appeared close to leaving for Boca Juniors, Roma’s management explored the possibility of signing Casemiro as a potential replacement. The Brazilian midfielder, who has struggled to maintain his form at Manchester United, was seen as a substantial midfield reinforcement.
However, with Paredes ultimately remaining at the club, the potential move for Casemiro was shelved. This revelation comes as Roma continues to strengthen its squad, having recently completed the signing of Rensch and exploring additional reinforcement options.
Casemiro’s situation at Manchester United remains complex. Under new manager Ruben Amorim, the midfielder has found himself increasingly marginalized, featuring in only two of the last nine Premier League matches. His future remains uncertain, with Saudi Pro League clubs like Al-Nassr showing interest in potentially acquiring the experienced player.
