Brazilian legend, Rivaldo, has urged Casemiro and Antony to depart Manchester United, and Gabriel Jesus to leave Arsenal this summer.
He believes these moves are essential for their careers, given their struggles in the Premier League this season.
Casemiro has faced a tough end to the campaign, particularly highlighted by his performance in Man United’s 4-0 defeat to Crystal Palace.
This led Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher to suggest Casemiro should consider moving to the MLS or Saudi Arabia.
Antony, signed by Man United for £82 million nearly two years ago, has been underwhelming, netting just one Premier League goal this season.
Rivaldo insists Antony remains a great player, citing his World Cup experience, but suggests a move to Spain, Germany, or Italy could be beneficial for his development and return to regular play.
“I still say Manchester United winger Antony is a great player,” Rivaldo told Betfair.
“He’s currently at a club that’s been going through difficult times for a while now, so in my opinion leaving England could be good for him.
“Moving to a side in Spain, Germany or Italy could be fundamental for his progression now. With his skills and the football that he can play, I think that he would fit very well into any big team in Spain, for example.
“It could be good for him to go to a club where he can return to playing regularly and aim to get back into the Brazilian team. Who knows, maybe in 2026 he can play in another World Cup.”
He added, “I also think it’s crucial for Casemiro and Gabriel Jesus to look for other clubs, if they are serious about returning to play for Brazil.”
