Veteran Manchester United midfielder Casemiro has decided that he is prepared to accept a significant reduction in his current salary to force through a summer transfer to Inter Miami. The Brazilian stalwart, who has been a formidable presence in the middle of the pitch for the Red Devils, is now approaching the tail end of his contract at Old Trafford and has made a move to the Major League Soccer outfit his absolute priority. The primary driver behind this decision is the burning desire to play alongside none other than Lionel Messi, a once in a lifetime opportunity that the 32 year old feels he cannot afford to let slip away. According to sources close to the player who spoke exclusively to GoalZaza, the former Real Madrid star has already informed the powers that be at Manchester United that he will not stand in the way of a transfer if an acceptable offer from the Florida club arrives. In the scheme of things, this represents a massive shift in the midfielder's financial expectations, but the prospect of sharing a dressing room with the Argentine genius has proven to be the lion's share of his motivation. At the end of the day, Casemiro believes that a move to Inter Miami offers him a chance to write a beautiful final chapter in his illustrious career, even if it means taking home a substantially reduced weekly wage counted in Naira terms at the current exchange rate. While several clubs from Saudi Arabia have also expressed interest, the Brazilian international has made it abundantly clear that only a switch to David Beckham's franchise will make him give a good account of himself in the twilight of his playing days.
