Overview
- Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano and multiple outlets reported a sealed verbal agreement on Saturday for Casemiro to join Inter Miami as a free agent after his Manchester United contract expired.
- LA Galaxy’s claimed MLS discovery rights over Casemiro created a compensation dispute that has delayed final signatures and the club announcement.
- Inter Miami and the Galaxy are negotiating a payment in General Allocation Money, with media figures citing amounts in the mid six-figure range as the likely settlement.
- MLS roster rules mean Casemiro may initially be signed outside a Designated Player slot, which would constrain his registered salary and affect how Miami fits him into the squad.
- The deal cannot be formally processed until Major League Soccer’s secondary transfer window opens on July 13, when Inter Miami can register Casemiro and announce his arrival.
