Casemiro will play for Inter Miami, as confirmed by renowned journalist Fabrizio Romano on his X account. The Brazilian had been very close to completing the move for months, but it was during the World Cup that the player and the club finally reached an agreement and managed to resolve the issue of the Discovery Rights with LA Galaxy.

Casemiro’s desire to play alongside Messi helped the deal get over the line, despite the legal hurdles that initially existed due to the LA side holding preferential rights over the player should he ever move to MLS.
That day has now arrived, and Inter Miami will be able to count on a marquee addition to their midfield. The rivalry between the Brazilian and the Argentine during their years at Real Madrid and Barcelona will now be left behind. From fiery Clásicos battles to sharing the same locker room and objectives with the Herons.
Casemiro will be one of the main attractions next season alongside Griezmann and, likely, Lewandowski. With this signing, the list of global stars in MLS continues to grow following the arrivals of Leo Messi, Son, Thomas Müller, Marco Reus, and Griezmann.
