What's the story
Casemiro, the Brazilian footballer currently playing for Manchester United, is reportedly considering his future with the club.

As per a report in Daily Mail, Casemiro wants to stay at Man United and fight for his place. Here's more.
Club reaction
Casemiro is expected to knock back any approaches
Several reports have suggested that the veteran Brazilian midfielder could be offered a way out of the Premier League with the offer of a move to the Turkish league with their window not closing until next week.
However, as per the Daily Mail, Casemiro is expected to knock back any approaches he gets in favor of overcoming his alarming dip in form.
He is keen to showcase his credentials and prove everyone wrong.
Approach
Galatasaray expressed interest in Manchester United's Casemiro
Turkish football club Galatasaray are said to be interested in acquiring Manchester United midfielder Casemiro.
As per ESPN, the Brazilian player has been identified as a potential addition to the Turkish side's roster.
The Turkish transfer window remains open until September 13, providing Galatasaray with ample time to finalize their summer signings.
Casemiro has received a lot of flak for his poor performance since last season.
Happenings
Casemiro's future at Manchester United uncertain
Casemiro's future at Old Trafford is currently uncertain, following a disappointing performance in a 3-0 loss to Liverpool.
The 32-year-old player was replaced at half-time after making two errors that led to Liverpool's first two goals.
His position as a regular in Erik ten Hag's team is also under threat after the arrival of Manuel Ugarte from Paris Saint-Germain, who is likely to take over the role once the international break is over.
Transfer challenges
Galatasaray's financial considerations for Casemiro's transfer
As one of Manchester United's highest-paid players with a weekly salary exceeding £300k, Casemiro's wage demands could pose a challenge for Galatasaray.
A potential loan agreement may depend on whether United are willing to continue paying part of his salary.
This comes as the Turkish club, who won the national championship last season, recently secured a surprise loan deal for striker Victor Osimhen from Napoli.
