Casemiro will leave Manchester United this summer and is widely expected to join the Saudi Pro League on a free transfer. Betting impact: odds for a Saudi switch are likely to shorten fast — punters may back Casemiro to sign for a top Saudi club and adjust markets on United’s midfield stability, making bets on United conceding more goals or on an incoming defensive midfielder more attractive.
Casemiro confirms exit from Manchester United as Saudi transfer looms
Manchester United midfielder Casemiro has confirmed he will leave Old Trafford at the end of the season after the club opted not to trigger a one-year extension. The Brazilian posted: “Knowing when stages come to an end. Knowing when to say goodbye when you feel that you will be remembered and respected forever. Four months to give my all for this badge and for our goal. Eternal respect and affection for Manchester United and its wonderful fans. Forever Red Devil.”
Revival under Ruben Amorim
Once written off at the highest level, the 33-year-old enjoyed a late-career resurgence under Ruben Amorim’s 3-4-3 system, forming an influential partnership with Bruno Fernandes. That revival means Casemiro is likely to leave Old Trafford on a high, boosting his appeal to suitors despite his advancing years.
Saudi Pro League move 'almost certain'
Former Manchester United chief scout Mick Brown has indicated the most probable destination is the Saudi Pro League, pointing to the financial lure and Casemiro’s age as key factors. With his contract expiring, the midfielder can negotiate freely and is expected to secure a lucrative final contract in the Middle East.
Club timing and fallout
Concerns have been raised about the timing of the announcement. Sources suggest a private agreement on his departure had been in place for some time, but public confirmation while he remains a key player risks creating distraction and fueling speculation about his focus in upcoming matches.
Betting implications and market shifts
Casemiro’s availability on a free transfer and the expectation of a Saudi switch will likely move short-term betting markets. Odds for him joining a top Saudi club should shorten quickly, while match markets involving Manchester United could reflect perceived midfield disruption.
Punters may consider markets such as United conceding more goals, bets on specific midfield reinforcements arriving before the window closes, or backing Casemiro to score or assist in his final months as motivation plays a role.
