Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Casemiro is officially moving to Galatasaray, with all contract details finalized. The Brazilian midfielder will receive around €15 million per year, plus potential bonuses, and will be contracted until June 2026. He is expected to travel to Turkey today for medical tests to finalize the transfer.
The news of Casemiro’s transfer to Galatasaray has taken Manchester United fans by surprise, given his crucial role since joining from Real Madrid in 2022. His presence has been pivotal in stabilizing the midfield and providing leadership for Erik ten Hag’s squad.
Despite his importance, United has decided to part ways with the 31-year-old, allowing him to begin a new chapter in his career. Reactions from fans are divided, with many feeling his departure is ill-timed, especially considering United’s current Premier League struggles. Some supporters believe his experience is needed at least until the January transfer window, given the squad’s ongoing injuries and underperformance. One fan voiced their disbelief on social media, saying, “I can’t believe this is happening! We still need him, at least until January! How could the club let Casemiro leave now?”
Casemiro’s move to Galatasaray highlights the Turkish club’s ambitions to compete at the highest level. His extensive experience and winning mentality, including five UEFA Champions League titles, are expected to bolster Galatasaray’s performance both domestically and in European competitions.
For Manchester United, Casemiro’s departure raises concerns about filling the midfield void. Without an immediate replacement, Erik ten Hag might have to rely on players like Scott McTominay, Christian Eriksen, or promote young talents from the academy. The winter transfer window will be crucial for United as they look to strengthen their squad. As Casemiro begins his new journey in Turkey, Manchester United fans will be closely watching how the team adjusts without their key midfielder.
