Inter Miami announced the acquisition of Casemiro on a deal that runs through the 2027 MLS Sprint Season, with an option to extend until June 2029. The 34‑year‑old arrives after his contract with Manchester United expired, ending a two‑year stint in the Premier League.
A New Chapter for the Brazilian Midfielder
During his Real Madrid years, Casemiro amassed five Champions League titles, three La Liga crowns and three Club World Cups, establishing himself as one of the most decorated midfielders of his generation. He leaves the Spanish capital with a record of 31 goals and 29 assists in 336 appearances, numbers that underscore his ability to influence both defensive and attacking phases.
The club’s sporting direction highlighted the player’s experience and leadership, noting that his arrival is intended to fill the void left by the retirement of Sergio Busquets. Under interim manager Guillermo Hoyos, Inter Miami has shifted to a 4‑3‑3 formation, a tactical adjustment that Casemiro is expected to adapt to quickly.
David Beckham, who has long championed the midfielder’s qualities, expressed enthusiasm about the signing, stating that Casemiro’s presence will elevate the team’s competitiveness. The Brazilian’s international résumé also includes three World Cup appearances for Brazil, where he scored ten goals in 91 caps, a testament to his enduring impact on the global stage.
While an official debut date has not been confirmed, sources indicate that Casemiro could make his first appearance before the returns of Lionel Messi and Rodrigo De Paul from injury. His integration will be closely watched by fans eager to see how the new midfield configuration performs against upcoming MLS opponents.
