Overview
- Inter Miami announced the signing of Brazil midfielder Casemiro on Wednesday, July 22, on a contract through the 2027 MLS Sprint season with an option to extend through June 2029.
- Major League Soccer has opened a formal review of a tampering allegation that centers on the league's discovery-rights system and whether Miami negotiated with Casemiro before acquiring LA Galaxy's priority.
- Inter Miami and LA Galaxy say they reached a settlement over the player's discovery priority, but MLS will not release the settlement terms until its investigation is complete.
- Casemiro, 34, joins Miami after leaving Manchester United and brings a decorated club career that includes five Champions League titles, though his debut is delayed while he awaits a U.S. visa.
- The probe revives scrutiny of Inter Miami's roster moves given past MLS sanctions for rule breaches, and the league has not set a timetable or outlined possible penalties for the current review.
