Casemiro's departure from Manchester United officially announced! First formal offer revealed, joining Beckham's partner Messi.

Every week there are rumors about whether Manchester United veteran Casemiro will stay, but the answer has always been clear: he will not. This week, Casemiro officially announced his specific departure time, stating he will leave Old Trafford in June. The 34-year-old Brazilian midfielder stated publicly: "The previously announced decision is final; I will leave Manchester United in June."

Italian transfer expert Fabrizio Romano disclosed that Casemiro reiterated his decision to leave Manchester United. During the remaining stages of the season, regardless of his performance or Manchester United's results, this will not change. He will begin a new chapter in his career as a free agent.

The Athletic reported that Manchester United's transfer fee for Casemiro ultimately settled at £60 million, with a £10 million add-on clause not activated. Laurie Whitwell explained: "Manchester United paid £60 million fixed fee for Casemiro from Real Madrid, plus £10 million in bonuses. I was informed that the £10 million add-on clause is tied to Manchester United winning titles, Casemiro's appearances, Champions League factors, etc., and has not been triggered so far. Therefore, Manchester United's total expenditure for Casemiro is £60 million."

Manchester United owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe publicly questioned the decision to sign Casemiro before his acquisition. Besides the transfer fee, he was more concerned about the four-year contract with a weekly wage of £350,000. This also became the biggest obstacle to Casemiro extending his contract with Manchester United. Statistics show Manchester United paid Casemiro an additional £60 million in wages over four years, partly because the team missed the Champions League for three years, leading to a 25% salary reduction for the player; otherwise, the total wage cost would have been higher.

Ratcliffe's remarks displeased Casemiro, who felt disrespected, ultimately prompting him to request the club to confirm his departure this summer early. As a free agent, Casemiro certainly won't lack suitors; he has potential pursuers across four continents. In Europe, there are clubs like Italy's Roma and Portugal's Porto; in Asia, Saudi Arabian professional league giants; in South America, his homeland Brazil's São Paulo; and in North America, MLS clubs Inter Miami and LA Galaxy.

Among them, Inter Miami has taken the lead, becoming the first club to present a formal offer to Casemiro. The club's owner, Manchester United legend David Beckham, placed Casemiro at the top of the recruitment list. Last month, Casemiro and his family vacationed in Miami and met with Beckham and other Inter Miami management. He was very satisfied with the location, and it is closer to Brazil, with an 8-hour flight, compared to half a day from England.

Romano stated: "As I understand, Inter Miami has started negotiations with Casemiro's agent, presenting the first concrete offer! Casemiro is open to joining Inter Miami; they have provided an ambitious plan and guaranteed his personal life. The deal also depends on economic terms; he can receive more offers from Europe and Saudi Arabia."

Now, Casemiro decides to continue enjoying his final days at Manchester United. His goal is to help the team return to the Champions League, then depart quietly, leaving his achievements behind. If Michael Carrick's team wins 5 out of the remaining 7 Premier League matches, they will secure a Champions League spot.

This weekend, the Premier League officially announced the date for a key Manchester United match. The home game against Liverpool in the "North-West Derby" has been rescheduled to Sunday evening, May 3rd, at 22:30. Manchester United hopes to achieve a season double over their rivals, and for Asian fans, this scheduling is also good news. Manchester United's three matches in April are all at 3 AM local time, including home against Leeds United, away at Chelsea, and home against Brentford.

Manchester United fans should try to fully enjoy Casemiro's remaining matches for the team, as it truly is a case of "each game watched is one less."
