As the Trendyol Süper Lig enters its final week, Turkish clubs are ramping up their transfer efforts for the upcoming season, with Istanbul giants Beşiktaş reportedly making a bold move for Manchester United midfielder Casemiro. The potential acquisition of the highly experienced Brazilian international would send shockwaves through the Turkish football landscape according to Fanatik.

Casemiro currently has a contract with the English Premier League powerhouse until 2026, and his current market value is estimated at €10 million.
Despite his age, the Brazilian has been a prominent figure for Manchester United this season, featuring in 42 matches across all competitions.
In those appearances, he directly contributed to eight goals, finding the net five times and providing three assists, showcasing his continued influence on the pitch.
Crucially, it has been claimed that Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has given his approval for Casemiro’s departure, as he looks to bring in new faces to reshape the squad. This potential green light from Old Trafford could significantly open the door for Beşiktaş.
The five-time Champions League winner, who also represents the Brazilian national team, is known for his strong defensive capabilities and impressive passing range, despite being primarily right-footed.
Reports suggest that Beşiktaş’s priority is to initially secure Casemiro on a loan deal.
The coming weeks will be crucial as Beşiktaş pushes to convince the decorated midfielder to make the switch to Istanbul.
All eyes will be on what choice the star player makes this summer, as this potential move could be one of the most significant transfers in Turkish football ahead of the new season.
