MADRID (AP) — Casemiro is about to put an end to his successful stint with Real Madrid to reportedly join Manchester United. His departure would leave the Spanish powerhouse without one of the anchors of its midfield in the last decade. Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti says Casemiro is in negotiations for a move and a deal was imminent, though he didn’t specifically mention United. He says he spoke with Casemiro and felt “there was no way back.” Ancelotti says Casemiro “wants to try a new challenge, a new opportunity.” He says he didn’t try to change Casemiro’s mind about leaving.
