Real Madrid are willing to sell Casemiro to Manchester United for more than $60m.
United received enough encouragement to believe that a deal could be reached.
The Real boss is very fond of the 30-year old. Casemiro is not seen as indispensable due to the plethora of options in the center of the pitch.
Luka Modric signed a contract extension and also provides experience to mesh with younger talents like Eduardo Camavinga and Aurelien Tchouameni.
Real can't guarantee a spread of minutes. It will be seen as sensible to get his wages out of the way.
The manager of United doesn't have the attributes that the Brazilian does, and that's why they need a defensiveMidfielder.
Even with the chance of doubling his salary, it's not certain if Casemiro will actually leave the Real Madrid for Old United.

He needs to play a game before the World Cup and has been tempted by United's proposal.
The final decision is made by Casemiro.
Over the course of his career, the man has played over 300 times for Madrid.
With two weeks to go until the transfer window closes, Man United are looking at other options in the middle of the park with a move for Bianconeri's Rabiot now less likely due to wage demands. They have become more interested in Moises Caicedo.
United are considering whether to formalise the interest given the "no intention of selling" stance of the Seagulls.
The 20-year-old Ecuadorian impressed in the opening weekend of the season as Graham Potter's side handed the new United boss a defeat.
Caicedo made his first appearance in the English top flight in April. He became a first-team regular for Potter after starting their last 10 league games and has made 12 appearances for the club.

When Caicedo joined the Seagulls in February of 2021, United was interested in signing him.
Seagulls will only sell at the right time for the right price.
It is possible that United will make an official bid.
Caicedo scored his first goal in the top flight in the win against United in May.
He was the first player born in the 21st century to score in a CON MEBOL World Cup Qualifying game.
In the space of a few months, the Seagulls have sold two of their key players to the English top flight.
The interest in Caicedo by Manchester United is related to the fact that there is less hope in signing Frenkie de Jong.
