Casemiro joins Inter Miami on a free move
Inter Miami CF has officially secured the signing of five-time UEFA Champions League-winning midfielder Casemiro on a free transfer. The 34-year-old Brazilian international joins the team after leaving Manchester United, but this high-profile acquisition has immediately triggered a formal investigation by Major League Soccer (MLS) regarding potential tampering.
The contract is set to last until the end of the 2027 MLS Sprint Season, with an option for the club to extend it until June 2029. Notably, Casemiro will not take up a Designated Player (DP) slot, as he is joining through a different mechanism, allowing Lionel Messi, Rodrigo De Paul, and Germán Berterame to occupy Miami's three DP positions. He will don the No. 5 jersey, which was previously worn by Sergio Busquets.
While Inter Miami completed the transfer, MLS concurrently initiated an investigation into the adherence to league regulations. The LA Galaxy initially held Casemiro's.
Casemiro, who represented Brazil in the 2026 FIFA World Cup, expressed that his main motivations are his desire to win and the ambitions of the club. He specifically mentioned that Inter Miami was the sole MLS team he wished to join. Co-owner David Beckham and Managing Owner Jorge Mas conveyed their immense pride in welcoming his championship experience to South Florida as they aim to elevate the team to a global standard.
Carlos Henrique Casemiro is widely acknowledged as one of the most prominent defensive midfielders of his era, serving as a cornerstone for some of the most successful club teams in contemporary football history.
Renowned for his tactical acumen, strong tackling, and significant leadership qualities, he has crafted an impressive career across elite leagues in South America, Europe, and North America. He currently plays for Major League Soccer (MLS) club Inter Miami CF and the Brazil national team.
