JAKARTA - Brazil midfielder Casemiro is rumored to be staying at Manchester United next season after getting a breath of fresh air from the new coach of the Brazilian national team, Carlo Ancelotti.

Casemiro, who earnsung 350.000 (Rp 7.8 billion) per week, had doubts about his future at Old Trafford following declining performances and interest from Saudi Arabian clubs. However, Ancelotti's decision to recall him back to the Brazilian national team opened new hopes for the veteran midfielder to appear in his third World Cup to be held in Canada, Mexico, and the United States in the summer of 2026.

According to The Mirror's report, Casemiro believes his chances of playing in the big tournament will be more open if he continues to play in the Premier League, a league that is considered competitive and prestigious. Over the past 18 months, he has indeed been teased by a big offer from Saudi Arabia, while MU is also trying to cut the team's salary burden.

However, towards the end of last season, Casemiro managed to re-enter MU's new coach, Ruben Amorim. That trust grew even bigger after Ancelotti, who had coached him at Real Madrid, called him back to Brazil's squad after two years of absence. Casemiro performed full in two World Cup qualifiers against Ecuador and Paraguay, helping Brazil move up to third in the Conmebol zone standings.

Ancelotti, who was said to disagree when Casemiro was sold to Manchester United in a deal worthrt70 million three years ago, has now seen the 33-year-old as an influential figure in the dressing room during his transitional term as coach of the Brazilian national team.

Although his contract at MU is only one year away, the club is ready to let him go if Casemiro decides to accept a lucrative offer from Saudi Arabia. Man United will not even activate the option of extending his contract for 12 months, if the player chooses to leave for Al-Nassr, the club that previously recruited Cristiano Ronaldo in a two-year contract worth nearly 500 million.

But so far, Casemiro has continued to show his desire to stay at Manchester United. He even uploaded photos on Instagram wearing LED technology recovery shoes forger 7,000, made by a company partly owned by Ronaldo, his old friend while in Madrid.

Meanwhile, Man United is trying to sell several players who are considered not included in the Amorious Plan, such as Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho, and Antony. The club is also waiting for a follow-up from Inter Milan for their interest in the Rasmus Hojlund striker, although until now there has been no concrete offer.

Inter Milan, who finished second in Serie A and lost to PSG in the Champions League final, are chasing two new strikers to strengthen their front line next season.
