A High‑Profile Arrival
Inter Miami confirmed the signing of Brazil’s Casemiro, a 34‑year‑old midfielder who has spent the last four seasons with Manchester United and the bulk of his career at Real Madrid. The club highlighted his five Champions League titles and his role in Brazil’s recent World Cup campaign, where he scored in five matches.
The announcement comes with a cloud of scrutiny. Major League Soccer is reviewing a settlement between Inter Miami and the LA Galaxy that resolved a dispute over Casemiro’s discovery rights. The league has said it is gathering information and will issue a comment once the investigation is complete.
Casemiro is slated to debut once he obtains a visa that will allow him to enter the United States for the start of the next season. His contract runs through the end of the 2029 campaign, with an option to extend until June 2029.
Club co‑owner David Beckham expressed enthusiasm about the player’s decision, saying the midfielder’s experience and winning pedigree will strengthen the team’s ambitions on the field.
The transfer reflects Inter Miami’s broader strategy of courting star power, a tactic that has sparked both excitement and league‑level examination of the deal’s compliance.
