Casemiro Released, Manchester United Gives IDR 400 Billion Severance Pay

JAKARTA - Manchester United will release midfielder Casemiro at the end of the season. Released with a contract that is still two years old, Casemiro will receive a severance pay of 20 million or approximately IDR 400 billion

Casemiro has actually recovered from a hamstring injury and can be played. But he was still grounded when United drew 2-2 against Tottenham Hotspur in the English Premier League

This further strengthens speculation that Casemiro will be released even though last season he became the pillar of MU's strength. The former Real Madrid player was able to score seven goals during his 51-time Premier League debut.

Casemiro also played a role in bringing MU to win the Carabao Cup. Not only that, the team also finished in third place so that they returned to compete in the Champions League

However, the performance of the captain of the Brazilian national team fell in the 2023/2024 season. The fitness problem made Casemiro fail to boost the team's performance. Moreover, he only played 12 times in various competitions.

Casemiro seems to have lost his passion for playing for MU. He has not been to the field since October last year. Especially after the veteran midfielder later suffered an injury.

Never playing again makes the club choose to terminate Casemiro's contract. The reason is it is not easy for MU to sell players because of his high salary.

MU seems to have made a mistake when giving a long contract of up to four years. Moreover, Casemiro gets a salary of up to 350 thousand pounds each week. This makes him the player with the highest salary at MU.

Now, the club has difficulty selling Casemiro because of a high salary. There is no other choice for MU except to terminate the player's contract. The club also provided severance pay or compensation of 20 million pounds.

Even though they have to spend quite a lot of money, the cost is cheaper than maintaining players who no longer contribute.

Meanwhile, Casemiro's contract still has two years left. Clubs can make savings. If Casemiro stays at MU with a salary of the amount, the club's expenses will certainly be greater.

Released by MU, Casemiro will not be unemployed for long. Because Juventus and AC Milan have monitored the players who brought Madrid to win the Champions League four times.

In addition, Casemiro has been wooed to go to Saudi Arabia. There is already a Saudi Professional League club that is ready to give Casemiro a big contract.

MU itself is revolutionizing the team. And Casemiro became part of the club's revolution.
