Arsenal has been advised to make a surprise move for Manchester United midfielder Casemiro if Thomas Partey departs the club this summer, according to Metro. Partey has been linked to several European clubs, and Arsenal is open to selling him, sparking a search for a suitable replacement.
Casemiro, a five-time Champions League winner with Real Madrid, has struggled at Manchester United, particularly in his makeshift role as a center-back. However, Arsenal legend Gilberto Silva believes Casemiro would be a "very strong and stable option" for Arsenal, citing his experience and versatility.
Gilberto attributes Casemiro's poor form to Manchester United's chaotic season, rather than a decline in his abilities. He believes Casemiro would be a valuable asset for Arsenal, providing depth and quality in midfield. "Casemiro is a player with a lot of experience and quality," Gilberto said. "He has played at the highest level and has won many titles. He would be a great addition to the Arsenal squad."
While Casemiro's potential move to Arsenal is surprising, it highlights the club's need for experienced players. If Partey leaves, Casemiro could be a suitable replacement, bringing leadership and skill to the team. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is keen to strengthen his squad, and Casemiro's availability could be a tempting option.
The potential transfer would also reunite Casemiro with his former Real Madrid teammate, Gabriel Jesus, who joined Arsenal last summer. The pair formed a strong partnership at Real Madrid, and their reunion could be a boost for Arsenal's midfield.
