Casemiro is determined to honor his contract with Manchester United, a source at Nova Play reveals.
The Brazilian star has made a resolute decision to stay at Old Trafford this summer, rejecting opportunities to explore pastures new.
Following the arrival of Ruben Amorim as the new manager, the 33-year-old has cemented his status as an indispensable figure on the pitch.
Casemiro’s present contract with the club is set to run until the conclusion of next season. However, the Red Devils have the option to extend this agreement by an additional year, potentially prolonging his stay until the summer of 2027.
Despite this, it remains uncertain whether the club will extend Casemiro’s stay beyond the existing terms.

Speculation has linked the seasoned midfielder to clubs in both the USA and Saudi Arabia in previous transfer windows.
Since Amorim took the helm in November, Casemiro has been a vital part of the squad, making 23 appearances across various competitions.
His contributions have not only bolstered the team but also propelled United to the Europa League final, setting the stage for another potential trophy in his illustrious career.
Reflecting on this milestone, he shared in the matchday program prior to the semi-final clash with Athletic Bilbao: “I have achieved a lot, but my hunger for success remains.” He added, “Winning is in my blood, and that drive never fades.”
“People often overlook the hard work behind the scenes. I remind myself that the games are merely the culmination of relentless preparation,” Casemiro reflected. “Regardless of whether I’m on the pitch, I strive to be present each day. All that matters to me is the team’s success.”
His unwavering commitment is clear: “When United triumph, I share in that victory. It’s not about individual accolades; it’s about lifting the club’s glory. I will offer my all to help the team achieve its goals. This mindset has been pivotal to my journey and successes thus far.”
In a thrilling home match on Thursday, United dominated Athletic Bilbao with a 4-1 scoreline, clinching a commanding 7-1 aggregate win.
Under Amorim’s guidance, the club is now gearing up for a showdown against Tottenham in the Europa League final, slated for May 21 in Bilbao.
A victory against Spurs would mark Casemiro’s third trophy since joining the ranks from Real Madrid in 2022.
Adding to his impressive resume, he has already celebrated FA Cup and Carabao Cup triumphs with the club, racking up 122 appearances, along with 17 goals and 12 assists from his midfield role.
