Real Madrid identify a Casemiro replacement
As Casemiro contemplates a transfer to Manchester United, Real Madrid have identified a potential replacement in Bruno Guimaraes.
Los Blancos view the 24-year-old midfielder as an ideal candidate to replace Casemiro. However, Guimaraes only joined Newcastle United from Lyon in January for €42.1 million, so a summer exit appears unlikely. He is under contract at the Premier League club until the summer of 2026.

Cristiano Ronaldo is open to joining Borussia Dortmund from Manchester United.
The 37-year-old forward’s agent, Jorge Mendes, has approached Dortmund about a potential transfer. But while the German giants have discussed whether to make a bid, a deal seems unlikely at this stage.
Ronaldo’s age and wage demands are the biggest obstacles to a move to Signal Iduna Park. [Bild – in German, subscription required]
