Manchester United midfielder Casemiro is set to move in the summer after the club reported that his contract would expire in June 2026.
The Brazilian is currently considering European alternatives, and growing interest has been shown in a Casemiro AC Milan Transfer that may see him land in Serie A team AC Milan to join them before the next season.
Casemiro AC Milan transfer rumours are circulating, with reports suggesting that the Serie A club are interested in signing him this summer.
In January, United confirmed that the long-time midfielder will leave the club at the conclusion of the season, and AC Milan have now become one of the possible destinations should the player decide to stay in Europe.
Casemiro Manchester United Summer 2026 Departure.
In August 2022, Casemiro transferred to Manchester United in a deal worth €70 million with Real Madrid. He has already featured in 146 matches and scored 21 goals in four seasons at the Premier League club.
The club confirmed:
“Casemiro will leave Manchester United this summer, upon the expiry of his contract.”
This confirmed that Casemiro’s exit from Man Utd in 2026 is over, with the player having played a key role in United’s 2023 League Cup victory over Newcastle United.
In the 2025/26 season, he has completed 24 out of 29 matches for United in competitions. He has been able to score five goals, of which four are set pieces.
AC Milan Monitoring Casemiro AC Milan Transfer Opportunity
AC Milan are considering midfield reinforcements for the impending Serie A season. The club is currently in second place in the league. Reports indicate that the Casemiro move to AC Milan is viewed as a low-risk option, as he would be available on a free transfer.
The Italian side signed Luka Modrić last summer on a one-year deal that includes an optional extension clause.
If Casemiro joins, he would reunite with his former Real Madrid teammate under manager Massimiliano Allegri. The midfield has already been strengthened this season with the arrival of Luka Modrić.

Possible Connection with Christian Pulisic in San Siro
A completed Casemiro move to AC Milan would see him link up with Christian Pulisic in midfield and attack.
Pulisic has scored 10 goals across all competitions this season for AC Milan. He has remained one of the team’s main attacking contributors since joining from Chelsea.
Casemiro prefers to continue his career in Europe rather than move to Major League Soccer. He has been linked with Inter Miami CF and LA Galaxy, but Italy is now seen as the more likely destination following his 2026 exit from Manchester United.
The Serie A Title Race
Currently, AC Milan are ten points behind Inter Milan in the Serie A table. Club officials believe that adding an experienced defensive midfielder could support their title push next season.
The proposed Casemiro move to AC Milan remains under review as the club plans its squad for the 2026/27 season.
Before the summer transfer window, Casemiro is likely to make a final choice on his next club.
Milan’s recruitment team will review the financial terms. They will check the squad balance. The manager’s input will also matter. Interest from other European clubs could still affect the final decision.
