Al-Ittihad club is focusing on strengthening their midfield with a high-profile signing by attempting to acquire Casemiro, the Manchester United star, during the upcoming transfer window.

The union's move is linked to an important variable within the team, which is the future of Fabinho, whose contract expires at the end of the current season. This makes the decision regarding him crucial in determining the deal.

Casemiro had previously hinted at his intention to leave Manchester United at the end of his contract in June, despite affirming his ability to continue competing at the highest levels.

The management of the club is closely monitoring the player's situation, with a clear desire to persuade him to embark on a new experience in the Saudi Roshn League.

At the same time, the team has players with European experience, but there is still a need to include a player of Casemiro's caliber, especially after Karim Benzema's departure.

Reports indicate that the signing of Casemiro will not proceed until the situation with Fabinho is resolved, whether by renewing his contract or his departure, to determine the midfield's structure for the upcoming season.

For its part, Manchester United has the option to extend Casemiro's contract for an additional year, despite a prior preliminary agreement for his departure, leaving his future open to all possibilities.

The final decision remains suspended between the player's desire, his club's stance, and the federation's plan, in a deal that could significantly ignite the summer transfer market.
