Casemiro Signs for Inter Miami Amid MLS Tampering Probe
Casemiro completed a free transfer to Inter Miami on a contract through the 2027 MLS season with an option to extend to 2029, pending visa approval. He joins a star-studded project around Lionel Messi as Miami bid for the title, with owners Beckham and Mas praising the signing as a reflection of the club’s ambition. The move, after his stint with Manchester United, is under MLS scrutiny amid tampering allegations related to LA Galaxy’s discovery rights, and a settlement has been reached with terms to be disclosed after the investigation. Debut timing remains uncertain while Casemiro awaits visa clearance. The signing further cements Inter Miami’s status as MLS’s most high-profile club, adding 91 Brazil caps to their midfield. MLS confirmed it is reviewing the tampering claim and will comment further once information is gathered.
