August 20, (THEWILL) – As Casemiro completes his move to Manchester United, Real Madrid have thanked the Brazilian for his many years of service at the Santiago Bernabeu.
United agreed to pay £70m including add-ons for a player who has won everything there is to win during his time in the Spanish capital. Now, the 30-year-old is moving to Old Trafford on a four-year agreement for a fresh start.
To the surprise of manager Carlo Ancelotti, Casemiro expressed a desire to take on a new challenge and, given recent results, he will undoubtedly have his hands full with a United team that is rooted to the bottom of the English Premier League after the first two games of the new season in the English top flight. Yet, Casemiro, still regarded as one of the top defensive midfielders in the game, is well-equipped for the job.
Real wasted no time to thank Casemiro for his years of service before the transfer is formally finalised. They also posted a heartfelt message on their official website when they announced an agreement had been reached with United for the Brazilian. It read:
“Real Madrid would like to express its gratitude and appreciation to Casemiro, who is part of the club’s history. In addition to this brilliant list of achievements, Casemiro will always be remembered by the Madridistas as representing the values of our club. An exemplary player who has given his all for Real Madrid. Real Madrid is and always will be his home, and we wish him and all his family the best of luck in this new chapter of his life.”
