Several Saudi Arabian clubs are keeping a close eye on Casemiro's situation at Manchester United.

The 32-year-old midfielder has seen little playing time since Ruben Amorim took over from Erik ten Hag as United manager in November. He started Monday's win over Newcastle but has played just 27 minutes in his previous five Premier League games.

Brazilian online outlet UOL reported that Casemiro agreed to leave United in January and that Public Investment Fund, which owns four Saudi clubs - Al Ittihad, Al Ahli, Al Nasr and Al Hilal - is interested in buying the midfielder.

Now journalist Ben Jacobs has shared more information regarding Casemiro's future and the interest in him in the Saudi League. The problem with most Saudi clubs, he says, is that they have used up their quotas for foreign players and would have to part with someone they already have to sign a new one.

Interesting developments around Casemiro's future. Saudi clubs' interest makes sense given his talent, but quota issues could be a significant hurdle. Will be interesting to see how this plays out.
