Casemiro Tempted By Inter Miami Move As Man Utd Exit Draws Closer

Inter Miami’s interest in Casemiro is understood to have genuinely caught the attention of the Brazilian midfielder, who has already made up his mind to leave Manchester United when the season ends.

Despite enjoying a strong campaign at Old Trafford that briefly raised the prospect of a change of heart, insiders insist his departure is set and the focus has now shifted to finding the right next step.

A move to Saudi Arabia had been widely considered the most likely destination, and Al Ittihad are understood to be tracking his situation closely. The Saudi side would be prepared to offer a financial package that reflects his current earnings at United, where he is one of the club’s highest-paid players in excess of £300,000 per week.

However, Inter Miami has entered the picture with genuine intent and initial discussions have already taken place. Sources indicate that the project in Florida appeals to Casemiro on several levels, not just financially. The lifestyle on offer is a significant draw, with Florida understood to be among his favourite parts of the United States. The prospect of playing a central role in one of football’s most ambitious clubs also resonates with the 34-year-old, who won the Champions League five times with Real Madrid and is attracted to the idea of joining another dominant side.

Inter Miami are reigning MLS champions and co-owned by David Beckham, with Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Rodrigo De Paul among the high-profile names on their roster. The club are keen to add another proven elite-level player, and Casemiro fits that profile.
The move also carries broader significance, with the 2026 World Cup set to take place in the United States, Canada and Mexico. MLS is actively working to raise its global profile ahead of the tournament, and high-profile signings such as Antoine Griezmann’s impending move to Orlando City are part of that strategy.
Two other MLS clubs are also said to be monitoring the situation, but Miami are considered to have a serious chance of winning the race for his signature.
