80 is too rich, something closer to what Bayern paid for Mane would be a lot more commensurate comparison.

REALLY?!
Who knows at 35 he might be available and you know how much we like a seasoned pro signing.
Makes zero sense.
Casemiro is 30 and Madrid have Kroos/Modric/Camavinga/Tchouameni/Ceballos (lesser extent) in midfield.
This smells far more like a Varane situation. He wants a new challenge + decent money.
I don't think this will happen but after the De Jong and Barcelona thing surely offering Madrid almost £65 million would make Barca quite nervous right
Would be hilarious though if he does get a bumper new deal and impedes tchouameni's path for the next three years
It would be great right?
Unfortunately it looks like De Jong will stay put but I do think there’s money for both given what Arnold leaked (£200m this summer) and what we need.
It seems the club, despite being skeptical, aren’t willing to say they won’t try for De Jong again.
If true that's an awful deal. It's one thing to pay huge money for FDJ with his best years ahead of him but Casemiero.
For me Casemiero needs a Modric next him. Well have Fred and Casemiro building our attacks up which will be amusing to watch.
This is awesome.
Don't think he will leave, atleast won't leave to join ManUtd in our current state.
Will be a terrible deal, hope the rumours aren’t true.
Casemiro is actually a good signing. He will take a huge amount of pressure off our defence and allow other attackers more freedom to play.
He is a leader in the team, helped a lot the brazilians, charismatic, a legend, etc. but I would sell him.
80 million is a lot of money, and I feel that rotating Tchouameni and Camavinga with him does not make sense in the long term.
We have to evolve and he is 30 years old. Obviously I would like them to use that money to buy a creative midfielder instead of pocketing it and weakening the team.
100 million for Asensio and Casemiro seems like a good business

Well no we have Eriksen?
Anyway £59m is not an awful deal. It’s a slight overpay but he’s a top player and can still deliver for 3/4 years
Thats more promising. But I cant help but be skeptical about this. Seems very off
Why? because he’s 30?
Do you think he would still have several good years in the PL left in him?
It's one thing to not think the deal will happen, but to be turning your nose up at him is bonkers.
I doubt Casemiro is truly scared of competition of Tchouameni. His experience alone gives a lot of edge
A few hours, huh?Casemiro weighing up the pros and cons and short-circuiting at: ‘but it’s double my wages!’
If he’s got the stones, he can stretch it to near triple.
I would give him the captaincy if by some miracle he joins.
He can but many players fall off around 31/32 as well. Matic declined massively quickly after joining us.
Eriksen is there I guess. But he's never really played this deep before right?
Are you saying we shouldn’t?Are we really going to spend 70m on a 30 year old and pay him 350k p/w on top?
What could possibly go wrong?
This would be an absolutely unreal signing if we somehow pull this out of the rabbit hat. Would still need someone who can make the team tick but for this season, maybe Eriksen can play that role. Casemiro would instantly make us so much better.
I think he’s shown he can play in that area and would have the protection of a top DM if this happened.
Reports say United want 2 CMs.
I’m surprised at people being negative about this however it seems as he’s 30 everyone starts to worry. Crazy if he was a year younger people would be more excited!
How tall is he?
I wouldn't personally. This player doesn't excited me really. And I'm always against vig money spent on older players. It leaves you with little room to meanuever. A transition year is a big chunk of the players remaining good years lost.
1.85m. Not as tall as Matić but definitely faster and aggressive.
If Rabiot changes his mind and lowers his demands then there's the midfield sorted
Every DM needs someone creative near him. All these years, our concern was about lack of a proper DM. Now we are trying for that, we have a new complaint .
in recent years I felt that it was difficult for him to get in shape until quite late in the season but yes, he is still young and has years of good football
The thing is as we have found out it’s much harder to attract players to rebuild if you are outside CL
If we bring him in at 30 and he helps us get top 4 or win the EL this secures CL and makes recruitment that bit easier
Casemiro is NOT for sale. Do you hear me? He is not.
Apparently he is though?
Madrid always move on older players for younger. If you get back 3/4 of your Tchouameni money you'll definitely be open to that.
I think he’s worth the money. Still has 3-4 years left and would massively upgrade the midfield.
I can’t see Casemiro coming to United, but if there is actually a possibility this is real and not just another Ramos ratfeck let’s get this done.
But you won’t pay him what he’s worth? I never quite understand why you as a club do this with your defensive players.
would accept and then slap that money down on Bernardo
I've always rated you as poster...
