The update says Inter Miami are optimistic an agreement can be completed within MLS financial regulations, a key detail given the league’s roster and budget constraints. Casemiro, 34, is expected to leave Old Trafford at the end of his deal and is described as favouring a move to Florida despite interest from elsewhere, including clubs in Saudi Arabia.
A switch would reunite Casemiro with a familiar squad profile in Miami. The report frames the attraction as joining a core that includes Lionel Messi, Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba, at a club co-owned by former United midfielder David Beckham.
For Inter Miami, this is a market signal: they are still building around proven, high-game-management veterans rather than targeting peak-age resale assets. Casemiro’s value is in defensive positioning, duels and tempo control-skills that can travel even as physical output declines with age. Put next to Messi and Busquets, the logic is simple: reduce transition chaos, win second balls, and keep attacks starting from stable possession.
For Manchester United, the move would mark the end of a high-profile spell that began in 2022, during which Casemiro won the FA Cup and Carabao Cup and made more than 150 appearances in all competitions. The report also says his exit forms part of a wider midfield reshaping, with the club expecting to add at least two midfielders in the summer window.
If Miami can fit the deal inside MLS mechanisms, the next steps are likely to focus on contract structure and roster classification. On United’s side, planning appears to hinge on timing: replacing experience and defensive coverage in midfield becomes more urgent once Casemiro’s departure is formalised.
