3 Players That Could Replace Casemiro At Manchester United Amids Bayern Interest In The Brazilian

Bayern Munich is reportedly eyeing a move for Manchester United midfielder Casemiro, which could prompt the Red Devils to find a direct replacement for the Brazilian.

Thomas Tuchel, the new Bayern Munich manager, has a list of transfer targets, and Casemiro is said to be high on his shortlist of midfield candidates.

With several Chelsea players also on the German club’s shopping list, Bayern hopes to “raid the Premier League.”

However, United is expected to demand a significant fee for Casemiro, given his role in the club’s revival. Bayern Munich, on the other hand, is keen to sign natural leaders to bolster its squad.

Here are three players who could potentially replace Casemiro:

1. Moises Caicedo:

Brighton’s Moises Caicedo has thrived on the south coast, and his valuation has soared as a result, making him one of the most exciting youngsters in the Premier League. Although Brighton fended off interest in January, they may be more willing to entertain offers for the Ecuadorian playmaker this summer, with several clubs queuing up to open talks about his services.

2. Declan Rice

West Ham’s club captain, Declan Rice, has been linked with a move to one of the traditional “Big Six” sides, with Chelsea and Liverpool reportedly interested in the English midfielder.

A move to Old Trafford could become a priority for United if they need to restructure their midfield. Rice, at 24 years old, could offer a long-term solution to United’s midfield problems.

3. Joao Palhinha

Joao Palhinha, a Fulham player, has consistently been linked with a move to Manchester United, as well as several other top sides.

The Portuguese international has been impressive this season, providing power and presence in the center of the park and allowing his more attacking-minded teammates to thrive, similar to how Casemiro operates at United.

Should Casemiro leave for Bayern Munich, Manchester United will need to move quickly to secure a suitable replacement. Palhinha, Rice, and Caicedo are all viable options but ultimately, it will depend on United’s transfer budget and their preferred playing style.

It remains to be seen if Casemiro will indeed make the move to Bayern Munich, but if he does, it will be interesting to see who United will bring in to replace him.
