Casemiro to Join Inter Miami, Snubbing Saudi Offers

Manchester United midfielder Casemiro is set to reject lucrative offers from Saudi Arabian clubs to join Inter Miami this summer, according to reports. The Brazilian international has decided to leave Old Trafford at the end of the season after failing to agree a new contract.

Casemiro, 34, has attracted interest from Al-Hilal and Al-Nassr, but he is not keen on moving his family to Saudi Arabia. Instead, he prefers a switch to Major League Soccer, where Inter Miami co-owner David Beckham has been instrumental in pursuing his signature.

Inter Miami have held talks with Casemiro over a deal that would keep him at the club until 2028, with an option for a further year. The prospect of playing alongside Lionel Messi, who extended his contract until 2028 in October, is a major factor in Casemiro's decision.

Living in Miami is also a strong pull for the 84-cap international, who has won 21 major trophies in his career. Casemiro announced his intention to leave United earlier this season, and the club's co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe is keen to reduce the wage bill, with Casemiro earning £400,000 per week.

United have drawn up a list of potential replacements, including Elliot Anderson, Aurelien Tchouameni, Adam Wharton, and Carlos Baleba. Casemiro's departure will free up funds for the club to invest in a suitable successor.
