Saudi giants set sights on Man United trio who face uncertain Old Trafford future - report
Manchester United have made it clear to the Saudi clubs that multiple players are on the transfer list and are ready to make waves elsewhere.
According to reputed journalist Ben Jacobs, Al-Ittihad and Al-Nassr have shown interest in signing United defender Raphael Varane.
The Saudi clubs are also targeting Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Casemiro.
The Red Devils are planning a major overhaul this summer, especially with Sir Jim Ratcliffe on board now.
Varane’s current deal with United will expire at the end of the 2023-24 season, whereas Wan-Bissaka has another year left in his contract.
Casemiro has faced a massive dip in the form and could head out the exit door this summer.
Saudi clubs could present decent offers to Man United
It is no secret that not many clubs can afford the high wages that Varane and Casemiro earn at Old Trafford.
United might want the former Real Madrid centre-back to extend his deal but only at reduced terms.
However, no progress has been made on that front which signals that the two parties could part ways at the end of the campaign.
Casemiro played a critical role last season to help United earn Champions League football and win the Carabao Cup.
However, the midfield general has been in poor form all season and is becoming a liability.
A new holding midfielder would be high on United’s transfer shortlist. They would be hoping to sell Casemiro at a high price and use those funds to sign a young midfielder.
A lucrative offer for Wan-Bissaka could force the Red Devils to off-load the former Crystal Palace man.
