Casemiro Contract Clause Revealed
The Athletic reports that Casemiro’s contract with Manchester United contains a clause for a one-year extension if he starts 35 matches in all competitions this season.
This clause would automatically extend his current deal to 2027 on the same terms.
With a reduced fixture schedule this year, it is uncertain if the 33-year-old will meet the appearance requirements.
His future will be reviewed at the end of the season as the club looks to revamp its midfield options.
Manchester United Interested in Elliot Anderson
The Manchester Evening News reports that Manchester United is considering signing Nottingham Forest midfielder Elliot Anderson.
The 23-year-old has shown promise this season and is seen as a good addition for energy and creativity in United’s midfield.
Scouts have also been watching Forest defender Murillo, but he is being evaluated separately and is not part of any linked deal.
United remains focused on enhancing midfield depth, and Anderson is viewed as a practical summer target due to his potential and local experience.
Mile Svilar Operation Faces Chelsea Competition
Manchester United’s pursuit of Roma goalkeeper Mile Svilar faces strong competition from Chelsea, according to CaughtOffside.
The Serbian goalkeeper, valued at around €60 million, has garnered interest from several Premier League clubs after a solid season under Gian Piero Gasperini.
United sees Svilar as a potential long-term option to strengthen their goalkeeping ranks.
United Handed Boost in Joao Gomes Pursuit
Wolves midfielder Joao Gomes remains on United’s radar, with reports suggesting a positive shift in their pursuit of the Brazilian.
The Manchester Evening News states that Napoli is also interested, but Gomes prefers to stay in England for the next season.
If Wolves face relegation this season, the club will likely demand around £43 million (€50m) for the 24-year-old. United’s recruitment team continues to closely monitor his situation as part of a broader midfield rebuild strategy.
