Casemiro’s impending departure from Manchester United has begun to attract significant attention in the world of football, with the Daily Mail reporting that LA Galaxy are among the clubs interested in signing the Brazilian midfielder, whose contract expires this summer.
The 33-year-old has received inquiries from the Saudi Professional League, Brazil’s Serie A and Major League Soccer, but sources close to the player say his first preference is to remain in Europe if a suitable offer materializes.
United announced last week that Casemiro would leave Old Trafford at the end of the season.
After a brilliant debut season in which he helped United win the Carabao Cup and finish third in the Premier League, the Brazilian’s form has plummeted this season due to injuries, fitness issues and tactical weaknesses within his team.
Casemiro has several options after leaving Man United
Despite this, Casemiro remains an attractive target for clubs around the world thanks to his pedigree, leadership and experience at the highest level with Real Madrid.
The Los Angeles Galaxy have reportedly identified Casemiro as a potential player who can improve the team both on and off the pitch.
MLS clubs have long pursued prominent European veterans to raise their profile, but Casemiro’s global reputation makes him one of the most decorated midfielders available in 2026.
With Casemiro’s departure confirmed, Man United have already shifted their focus to finding his long-term successor.
United are considering potential replacements on the market
Elliot Anderson (Nottingham Forest)
Highly versatile, energetic, and technically gifted, Anderson has emerged as one of the most promising box-to-box midfielders in the league. United praise his immediate strength and ability to play multiple roles, but he has also been linked with Manchester City.
Adam Wharton (Crystal Palace)
The 21-year-old has quickly become one of England’s hottest young midfielders after a string of outstanding performances. His composure, passing range and tactical maturity have made him a top target for several elite clubs, with United seeing him as a player who can anchor their midfield for many years.
Carlos Baleva (Brighton)
Brighton’s dynamic young midfielder is admired for his athleticism, ball-running strength and defensive instincts. United tried to sign him last summer but abandoned the move due to his high valuation. Now that the need is greater, they may resume their pursuit.
