Inter Miami sign Casemiro as MLS opens tampering investigation

sports football player transfer

Inter Miami announced the signing of Brazilian midfielder and five-time Champions League winner Casemiro as a free agent on Wednesday, July 22. The 34-year-old, who played for Real Madrid and spent the last four seasons with Manchester United, has signed a contract that runs through the conclusion of the 2027 sprint season, with an extension option through June 2029.

Major League Soccer has launched an investigation into allegations of tampering by the reigning league champion to secure the deal. While the LA Galaxy held the discovery rights for Casemiro, which would have prevented Inter Miami from negotiating with him, the two teams have since reached a settlement. MLS stated that it is gathering all relevant information and will release the terms of the settlement once the review is complete.

Inter Miami co-owner David Beckham welcomed the signing, describing Casemiro as a winner who has achieved a great deal in the game. It is currently unclear when the midfielder will make his debut, as the team is still waiting for the necessary visa.
