Casemiro’s time at Manchester United appears to be coming to an end. After a decade of dominance in Europe, the Brazilian midfielder is now being linked with a move to MLS in 2026. Despite finding his form at Old Trafford this season, his contract expiration and high salary are pushing the Red Devils towards a mutual agreement for his departure.
While the Saudi league remains an option for European stars, rumors suggest that the United States is Casemiro’s preferred destination, with three MLS teams already expressing interest in the former Real Madrid player.
The three MLS clubs most likely to sign Casemiro:
New York City FC: Under Pascal Jansen’s management, the team has shown tactical versatility but lacks depth in defense. Casemiro could provide quality and experience as a replacement.
Columbus Crew: Going through changes, the potential return of Wilfried Nancy could pave the way for Casemiro’s arrival, offering him a more playmaking role.
Austin FC: With financial stability and a need to strengthen their midfield, Casemiro could be an ideal addition following a recent player sale.
Casemiro’s successful career in Europe includes 18 titles with Real Madrid, including five Champions League trophies. Despite not meeting expectations at United, his legacy in Europe is undeniable.
As Casemiro looks towards a new chapter in MLS, his time in Europe will be remembered for his success and contributions to Real Madrid’s illustrious history.
