Casemiro signs for Leo Messi's Inter Miami
Brazilian midfielder Casemiro has officially signed with Inter Miami as a free agent following the expiration of his contract with Manchester United. He joins the MLS club as part of a project led by Lionel Messi, with a contract running through the 2027 season.
Why it matters
The move represents a significant high-profile transfer for Major League Soccer, continuing the trend of European stars joining the league.
It's now official. Casemiro joins the ranks of Inter Miami. The project led by Leo Messi confirms a new valuable addition for next season. The Brazilian midfielder arrives after an inconsistent World Cup with his national team, after being knocked out in the round of 16 by Haaland's Norway (1-2). The five-time UEFA Champions League champion arrives as a free agent after his contract with Manchester United expired, where he spent three seasons, making a total of 160 appearances, with 26 goals and 14 assists, and helped the club win a League Cup and an FA Cup. His contract will run until the end of the 2027 MLS season, with an option to extend until June 2029.
