Casemiro has emerged as one of the Saudi Pro League's primary transfer targets for 2024, with an offer even possible for the Manchester United midfielder in January, 90min understands. United signed the Brazilian from Real Madrid in August 2022 after a poor start to Erik ten Hag's reign as manager, and he made a huge difference to the solidity of the team in the months that followed. Casemiro scored a number of important goals, helping United to a top four finish in the Premier League , a Carabao Cup win and FA Cup final appearance. His signing has been met with criticism at times due to its huge cost - United paid £60m plus an additional £10m in add-ons and agreed to wages around £300,000 a week - as well as the length of the contract. United are just over a year into a four-year agreement and also have an option to trigger a further season's stay, with Casemiro turning 32 in February. While a short-term success, Casemiro has struggled for form in the early months of the...

Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino has confirmed the Blues are still looking to sign a new striker before the transfer window closes. The Blues made a significant addition to their forward line this summer in the form of Christopher Nkunku but lost the former RB Leipzig star, who racked up 23 goals and nine assists in all competitions last season, to a knee injury during the summer. To make matter worse, Chelsea remain without injured academy graduate Armando Broja, who tore his ACL in December and is still working his way back. Nicolas Jackson, another summer signing , has led the line thus far but is still waiting for his first Premier League goal, with 20-year-old Mason Burstow the only alternative. With Chelsea's goalscoring woes on full show once again in Sunday's 3-1 defeat to West Ham United, Pochettino took the chance after the game to admit the club are still on the hunt for yet another new forward.
