Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Casemiro is officially transferring to Galatasaray, with all contract details now finalized. The Brazilian midfielder is set to earn around €15 million annually, with potential additional bonuses, and his contract will extend until June 2026. Casemiro is expected to travel to Turkey today to undergo medical examinations required to complete the transfer.
This unexpected move has surprised Manchester United supporters, who have relied heavily on Casemiro since his arrival from Real Madrid in 2022. His role in stabilizing the midfield and offering leadership has been crucial to Erik ten Hag’s team. Despite his importance, the club has decided to let the 31-year-old midfielder leave, marking the end of his stint with United.
Fan reactions have been mixed, with many feeling that his departure is untimely, particularly given the team’s current challenges in the Premier League. Some fans believe that United needs Casemiro’s presence at least until the January transfer window due to ongoing injuries and the team’s lackluster performance.
One fan voiced their disbelief on social media, lamenting, “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 transfer to Galatasaray highlights the Turkish club’s aspirations to compete at the highest level. His vast experience and winning mentality, including his five UEFA Champions League titles, are expected to boost Galatasaray’s performance in both domestic and European competitions.
For Manchester United, Casemiro’s departure raises concerns about how they will address the midfield gap. Without an immediate replacement, Erik ten Hag may have to rely on players like Scott McTominay, Christian Eriksen, or possibly promote younger talents from the academy. The upcoming winter transfer window now becomes crucial for United as they seek to strengthen their squad.
As Casemiro embarks on this new chapter with Galatasaray, Manchester United fans will be closely watching how the team adapts in his absence.
