Overview
- Transfer reporter Fabrizio Romano and multiple outlets report that Casemiro has a verbal agreement to join Inter Miami as a free agent following the end of his Manchester United contract.
- The move is not yet signed or announced because LA Galaxy hold Casemiro’s MLS discovery rights and are seeking compensation for relinquishing them.
- Inter Miami’s existing roster and salary rules complicate registration since the club reportedly has no open designated player slot, so the initial contract may be structured to fit MLS budget limits.
- All parties aim to complete paperwork and make a formal announcement after the 2026 World Cup, with Casemiro expected to be registered during MLS’s secondary transfer window.
- If finalized, the signing would add a decorated defensive midfielder to a Messi‑led Inter Miami project and could reshape Miami’s midfield while highlighting how MLS discovery and roster rules shape high‑profile moves.
