Casemiro is set to leave Manchester United after the 2025-26 season when his contract expires. LA Galaxy are reportedly interested in signing him, potentially setting up an MLS rivalry with Lionel Messi. Meanwhile, United are targeting Sandro Tonali as his replacement, with Newcastle expected to demand around £100 million ($136 million).
As the 2025-26 season progresses, Casemiro’s future at Manchester United has become a major talking point, with the Brazilian midfielder confirming that he will leave the club when his contract expires in 2026. Despite remaining an important figure for United this season, the club has decided against renewing his deal due to his age and high wages. Reports suggest that United are preparing for his departure by targeting a long-term replacement valued at around £100 million, or approximately $136 million.
One possible destination for Casemiro is Major League Soccer, where he could reunite with former rival Lionel Messi. According to reports from the Daily Mail, LA Galaxy are prioritizing his signing once he becomes a free agent. However, the move could be complicated by the club’s Designated Player slots, which are currently filled by Riqui Puig, Gabriel Pec, and Joseph Paintsil. Puig’s season-ending injury may open a slot, making Casemiro’s registration possible.
Meanwhile, Manchester United are focusing on Newcastle United midfielder Sandro Tonali as their preferred replacement. The 25-year-old has also attracted interest from Juventus, Arsenal, and Manchester City, but Newcastle are expected to demand a fee close to £100 million. Tonali’s agent has emphasized the player’s strong attachment to Newcastle, especially after the club supported him during his 10-month betting suspension. As a result, any move is likely to be decided only after the season ends.
