Overview
- MLS opened a formal tampering review into Inter Miami’s signing of Casemiro after the LA Galaxy said they held the player’s Discovery priority and filed a grievance.
- Inter Miami and the LA Galaxy reached a confidential settlement over which club held discovery priority, but the clubs have not released the terms while the league completes its review.
- LA Galaxy general manager Will Kuntz said Casemiro initially told the Galaxy he only wanted to play for them before later stating a preference for Inter Miami, creating a timeline dispute with Miami and the player.
- Casemiro has already started matches for Inter Miami, including a recent game in which he scored an own goal, and he remains in the club’s lineup while MLS gathers evidence.
- The Discovery List is a confidential MLS process that gives a club first refusal on certain players, and the outcome of the probe could shape how the league enforces roster rules and handles future high-profile signings.
