Casemiro nearing Manchester United departure after Inter Miami Talks

The end of Casemiro’s Manchester United career is drawing near, and his next destination is becoming clearer by the day.

Talks between the 34-year-old Brazilian and Inter Miami in recent weeks have been described as ‘positive’, with the MLS side emerging as frontrunners to secure his signature when his United contract expires on June 30.

Although LA Galaxy hold Casemiro’s discovery rights, the former Real Madrid midfielder is particularly attracted to a potential switch to Inter Miami.

Inter Miami, the reigning MLS champions, sent their first proposal to Casemiro’s camp in late March, eager to add a long-term veteran presence in midfield, especially after the departure of Sergio Busquets.

A move to Florida would also reunite Casemiro with Lionel Messi, a longtime rival at both club and international levels, with whom he has shared some defining moments in a glittering career.

However, there are financial complexities. Inter Miami currently have three designated players on their roster and cannot spend big on a fourth under MLS salary cap rules.
