A Real Madrid legend has been linked to a sensational possible return to Carlo Ancelotti's first team by outlets such as SPORT, which cited a report from Trivela in Brazil that used anonymous sources.

Casemiro left Los Blancos after a fifth Champions League win in 2022, with his exit accelerated by the arrival of Aurelien Tchouameni.

He decided to embark on an expedition to the Premier League and more specifically Manchester United.

Nearly two years on, however, neither Tchouameni's time at the Bernabeu nor Casemiro's at Old Trafford could be called a success.

Following the interval of a recent 3-1 loss to AC Milan in the Champions League, Tchouameni was whistled by fans in Madrid's aforementioned ground when it was revealed he had been hooked at half time.

With the Frenchman out injured for a month, OK Diario director Eduardo Inda also reported during an appearance on El Chiringuito that Tchouameni could leave at the end of the season with Manchester United possibly fighting with bitter rival Liverpool for his signature.

Earlier than that, in the January transfer window, Madrid clearly needs reinforcements after losing three men in the first half of a 4-0 rout of Osasuna amid several other casualties across 2024/2025 and even before in David Alaba's case.

Losing Eder Militao to a second ACL tear in two seasons, and Dani Carvajal to the same knock that also troubles Alaba, Ancelotti requires options in defense above all.

According to Trivela, however, Madrid top brass sees an experienced player like Casemiro as essential in helping youngsters such as Tchouameni and Eduardo Camavinga blossom and evolve.

In recent days, Spanish journalist Sergio Lopez said that the Brazilian's potential return "is very unlikely, but not impossible".

"He's 32 years old and has a contract until 2026, so he does not fit the club's transfer policy. The only key would be for the player to want to come back and facilitate a 'cheap' operation. Something very unlikely, but any other scenario is ruled out," Lopez added.

Furthermore, Trivela says that Casemiro is not thinking about returning to Real Madrid.

Excited by the arrival of Ruben Amorim to the Red Devils dugout, he views his time in the Spanish capital as being "history" and wants to succeed in England.
