Casemiro is poised to join Inter Miami this summer, snubbing lucrative offers from Saudi Arabian clubs Al-Hilal and Al-Nassr. The Manchester United midfielder will leave Old Trafford at the end of the season after failing to agree a new contract.
Inter Miami bosses have held talks with Casemiro about a deal until 2028, with an option for an additional 12 months. The 34-year-old Brazil international prefers a move to Major League Soccer over Saudi Arabia, as his family is reluctant to relocate to the Arab state. Living in Miami is a strong pull for the player, who has won 84 caps and 21 major trophies during his career.
David Beckham, co-owner of Inter Miami, has been instrumental in the pursuit, having previously lured Lionel Messi to the club in 2023. The prospect of teaming up with Messi at the Chase Stadium is reportedly a key factor in Casemiro's decision. Messi signed a contract extension in October that keeps him at the club until 2028.
Manchester United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe is keen to reduce the club's wage bill, and with Casemiro earning £400,000 a week, the decision was made to let him go. United have drawn up a list of potential replacements, including Elliot Anderson, Aurelien Tchouameni, Adam Wharton, and Carlos Baleba.
