Casemiro's time at Manchester United has been far from easy, and recent reports have suggested that he may be leaving the club this summer. However, the Brazilian midfielder has now made an unexpected announcement - he has "joined" Spanish club Marbella. But before you jump to conclusions, he hasn't signed as a player. Instead, he has become a shareholder and director of the team, who were recently promoted to Spain's third-tier league.
In a statement released on Tuesday, Marbella Football Club shared the exciting news: "We are pleased to announce that Carlos Henrique Casemiro, Manchester United star and five-time Champions League winner, has officially become a new shareholder of our organization as of today." They also expressed their excitement at having such a high-profile player on their board of directors, saying that it is a "historic opportunity" for the club to continue growing and succeeding in elite football.
The statement also mentioned how proud the city of Marbella is to have an athlete of Casemiro's caliber become a part of their family. The 32-year-old himself expressed his honor and motivation for joining the club. He shared that he and his family have fallen in love with Marbella and that they want to be connected to the city for life. "Together, we will dream big and take Marbella to the top," Casemiro said, referring to the club's recent promotion to the Primera division.
This news comes at a time when there has been speculation about Casemiro's future at Manchester United. After a difficult season for the team, where they suffered their worst Premier League finish, it is rumored that the club plans to offload several players this summer. Casemiro, who made a big impact in his debut season after signing from Real Madrid, struggled to adapt to the physicality of English football in his second season.
Interestingly, it has been reported that Casemiro's co-owner at Marbella, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, has criticized United's transfer policy and referred to Casemiro as an example of their poor decisions. This has only fueled the rumors of the midfielder's potential departure from the club. In fact, it is believed that three Saudi Pro League teams are interested in signing the Brazil captain, with former teammate Cristiano Ronaldo personally reaching out to convince him to join Al-Nassr.
However, with Casemiro's new venture with Marbella, it seems that he may have his sights set on a future in Spain. After a successful nine years with Real Madrid, it is understandable that he may want to return to the country where he experienced so much success. Only time will tell what the future holds for the talented midfielder, but for now, he is excited to be a part of Marbella Football Club and their journey to the top.
