Man Utd's Casemiro transfer could trigger Real Madrid to weaken Premier League rival

Real Madrid are reportedly considering making an offer to Tottenham for Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, with Casemiro on the way to Manchester United.

Real boss Carlo Ancelotti confirmed on Friday that Casemiro was on his way to United after the club accepted his desire to leave for a “new challenge”. The 30-year-old midfielder is expected to cost an initial fee of €60million (£50.9m), which could rise to €70m (£59m) with add-ons. He will sign a four-year contract which will have the option of a further 12 months.

That is good news for Erik ten Hag, who has been frustrated in United’s long-running pursuit of Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong. But it could be bad news for Tottenham, with Hojbjerg being eyed up as a potential replacement.
