Casemiro wanted to play for us, says LA Galaxy GM after signing
LA Galaxy's general manager has confirmed that Casemiro actively wanted to join the club, highlighting the Brazilian midfielder's personal desire to make the move. Casemiro departs Manchester United after a high-profile but ultimately underwhelming spell at Old Trafford, where he joined from Real Madrid. The transfer marks a significant addition for the Galaxy, who are looking to strengthen their squad with a globally recognized name. The move continues the trend of elite European-based players relocating to MLS in the latter stages of their careers.
Read the full story at bbc.co.ukCasemiro's arrival at LA Galaxy is a major statement signing for MLS, reflecting both the league's growing pull and United's willingness to offload a high-wage veteran. For Galaxy, this is a marketing and on-field boost, though Casemiro's recent form decline raises questions about his remaining quality. For Manchester United, freeing his wages provides financial flexibility for squad rebuild, though it further depletes midfield experience. The transfer signals a transitional phase for both parties rather than a competitive upgrade at the elite level.
