Manchester United will recruit Aurelien Chouameni (Real Madrid).
"Manchester United wants Chouameni as a defensive midfielder to replace Casemiro. Manchester United will compete to recruit Chouameni," Spain's Picha Hyes reported on the 5th (Korea time).
Casemiro enjoyed his prime as a defensive midfielder of the World Class at Real Madrid. Casemiro, along with Toni Kroos and Luka Modric, began to dominate the world with the so-called "Kcamo line." He also won three Spanish Primera Liga titles, one Copa del Rey title, and five UEFA Champions League titles.
Casemiro left Real for Manchester United in the 2022-23 season. Casemiro has become the core of Manchester United's midfield by boasting of his performance as he has continued since the first season. However, he has been at the center of criticism as his performance deteriorated and his injuries increased due to the rapid aging curve from last season.
The situation is no different this season. Notably, after Coach Hoobeng Amorim took the helm of Manchester United as the successor of Erik ten Hag, he was given the starting position.
With Casemiro expected to leave Manchester United at the end of this season, Manchester United picked Chouameni as a substitute.
As a French national, Chouameni drew attention as the "second Paul Pogba." Chouameni is armed with outstanding physical features and can block opponents' attacks with his interpersonal marks and tackle skills. He also aims to score points with accurate passes and powerful mid-range shots.
Chouameni wore a real uniform the year Casemiro moved to Manchester United. At that time, the transfer fee was 100 million euros (about 152 billion won). Chouameni played as a main resource for Real, but he is regretting his poor performance over time. 안전놀이터
In the end, Real began to agonize over Chouameni's future. "Real is open to selling Chouameni," Spain's Lelebo said, expressing its position that it can sell him if an appropriate transfer fee is offered. With Chouameni's arrival in the market, Liverpool and Arsenal showed interest, and Manchester United also joined the recruitment campaign.
