Inter Miami is close to adding another international figure to its squad. The MLS club reached a verbal agreement with Casemiro to incorporate him once his participation in the 2026 World Cup concludes.
The information was provided by the journalist Fabrizio Romano, who assured that there is an understanding between all parties and that only the formal procedures remain to make the signing of the Brazilian midfielder official.
The presence of Lionel Messi would have been key in the player’s decision, who opted for the Miami sports project despite receiving other proposals, including some from Saudi Arabia.
With the arrival of Casemiro, Inter Miami would reinforce a squad that already has figures such as Messi, Luis Suárez and Rodrigo de Paul. The Brazilian would end his time at Manchester United after four seasons in English football.
The signing was closed during the 2026 World Cup, in which Casemiro is part of the 26-man squad for Brazil, led by Carlo Ancelotti. The 34-year-old midfielder is playing his last World Cup before starting a new stage in the MLS.
Casemiro started in the 1-1 draw against Morocco and in the 3-0 victory against Haiti, establishing himself as a key piece in the Italian coach’s scheme. The official announcement will depend on the completion of the tournament, although those around the player assure that the decision has already been made.
His arrival at Inter Miami also marks a curious turn in his career, since for years he was Lionel Messi’s rival in the classics between Real Madrid and Barcelona. Now they will share a locker room in a project that seeks to consolidate the club as one of the protagonists of the MLS.
