The Brazilian midfielder, linked with a move away from Old Trafford this summer, has joined Marbella FC—but not as a player. In a surprising twist, Casemiro has become the newest stakeholder in the Spanish club following their recent promotion.

Marbella FC, a team that has seen a rapid rise in Spanish football, announced Casemiro’s involvement with a cheeky headline, “Casemiro joins Marbella FC.” The announcement on their official website created quite a buzz, but the reality behind the headline is that the five-time Champions League winner has invested in the club.
Casemiro’s investment in Marbella FC
In an official statement, Marbella FC expressed excitement about Casemiro’s decision to join the club’s shareholding structure. The statement highlighted Casemiro’s enthusiasm and commitment to the project, noting that his involvement is a source of pride for the club and the city. The statement read, “Marbella Futbol Club is pleased to announce that Carlos Henrique Casemiro, star of Manchester United, the Brazilian national team and five-time winner of the Champions League, becomes a new shareholder of our entity as of today.”
The club sees this as a historic opportunity to strengthen its strategy in elite football. Marbella FC believes Casemiro’s passion, leadership, and responsibility will significantly contribute to the club’s growth. His addition to the board of directors is expected to provide valuable experience and guidance as Marbella aims to establish itself further in Spanish football.
Casemiro himself shared his excitement about joining Marbella FC. He mentioned his love for the city and his family’s frequent visits, expressing his desire to be connected to Marbella for life. He said, “It is an honor for me to join the Marbella Futbol Club because my greatest motivation is the spectacular growth possibilities of the club. My children, my wife, and I love this city, and we want to be linked to it for life.”
Marbella FC’s recent success includes two consecutive promotions, with the club now competing in the Primera Federacion, Spain’s third tier. The club finished at the top of the Tercera Federacion in the 2022-23 season and secured promotion through the playoffs this season, finishing third. This upward trajectory has been fueled by significant investments, and Casemiro’s involvement is seen as another step towards its ambitious goals.
Casemiro’s future at Manchester United
Despite the buzz around his new role at Marbella FC, Casemiro’s future at Manchester United remains uncertain. Reports suggest United is open to letting the 32-year-old leave, with several potential suitors in the mix. There have been rumors about Casemiro reuniting with his former teammate Cristiano Ronaldo at Al-Nassr. Saudi Pro League rivals Al-Hilal are also reportedly interested in signing him.
As the summer transfer window progresses, Manchester United fans wonder where Casemiro will play next season. While his commitment to Marbella FC is clear, his tenure at Old Trafford might end. The coming weeks will likely provide more clarity on his future in football.
Casemiro’s decision to invest in Marbella FC has added an interesting chapter to his career. Whether he stays with Manchester United or moves to a new club, his off-field endeavors demonstrate his vision for long-term involvement in football beyond his playing days.
