Manchester United have been trying to offload Casemiro to get him off their wage bill, but his chances of securing a move back to Brazil, specifically to Palmeiras, are looking remote as they may be priced out of signing him.

Casemiro is linked with an emotional return to Brazil, with Palmeiras touted as an option. However, journalist Jorge Nicola insists the move is impossible due to Casemiro's high salary demands, the highest at Manchester United with £18.2m per year.
