Casemiro is attracting interest from the USA and Saudi Arabia, talkSPORT understands.
The Brazilian midfielder will become a free agent at the end of this season upon the expiration of his Manchester United contract.

The Red Devils have opted against triggering the one-year extension clause in Casemiro’s contract.
In demand
With the 34-year-old able to sign a pre-contract agreement with clubs overseas, several sides are already interested in a move.
MLS outfits Inter Miami and LA Galaxy are both keen on signing the five-time Champions League winner.
Casemiro would become teammates with Lionel Messi if he joins the former with the Argentinian signed a new deal in October.
Messi has spent the three years with Inter Miami and helped them win the MLS Cup for the first time in 2025.
Meanwhile, Al Ittihad are also interested in bringing Casemiro to the Saudi Pro League at the end of the current campaign.
Their interest comes with the club expecting current midfielder and ex-Liverpool star Fabinho to depart in the summer.
The Brazilian is out of contract at the end of this season following three years with Al Ittihad.
However, talkSPORT understands there is no chance of Casemiro remaining at United.

Any possible U-turn on their decision to allow him to leave this summer has been ruled out by the club.
Since signing from Real Madrid for £60million in 2022, Casemiro has made 155 appearances for United.
Across those outings, he has scored 24 goals and added 14 assists.
He has also won both the FA Cup and Carabao Cup during his time at Old Trafford.
Casemiro is yet to be left out of the starting line-up by caretaker manager Michael Carrick.
In his ten appearances under United’s temporary boss, he has scored three goals and provided an assist.

His form this season has also seen Casemiro maintain his place in the Brazilian national team.
Ahead of a potential third World Cup this summer, he has been included in their squad to face France and Croatia this month.
‘Most disrespected player’
While Casemiro didn’t achieve the same success at Old Trafford as he did at previous club Real Madrid, one fan will be gutted to see him go.
talkSPORT’s Anil Kandola insists the Brazilian is criminally underrated.
“I genuinely think in my life of watching Man United, Casemiro is the most disrespected player at the club,” Kandola said on Inside Devils.
“In his first season and this season people were giving him his plaudits, but this is a guy who has been shoehorned into different positions and has been asked to do things he’s never done in his career.
“As you go on in your career you should be required to do less running, he’s had to do more running, to cover so much space especially in the Ruben Amorim system.
“Jamie Carragher had to issue an apology, saying maybe the football hasn’t left him.
“You don’t lose that quality just like that… for me, he is the best player in that position I’ve ever seen. Not just at Man United but at Real Madrid also.”
