Major League Soccer could see further growth with the arrival of Casemiro. Inter Miami has begun the process of signing the Manchester United midfielder on a free transfer at the end of the season.
There will be no U-turn regarding Casemiro’s future at Manchester United. With his contract expiring in June, the midfielder announced his departure at the end of the season back in January. A decision the Brazilian international confirmed in comments reported by The Athletic.
“I’m still really enjoying myself. I think the announcement has been made. The affection the fans have shown me is immense. But I truly believe the decision I’ve made is final. I think these final matches at Manchester United will be emotionally difficult moments,” said the former Real Madrid player.
Inter Miami have made an offer to Casemiro
In recent hours, a potential move has gained momentum regarding the next chapter in Casemiro’s career, and it lies in the United States. Inter Miami, initially put off by the cost of such a deal, has finally expressed interest in the 34-year-old midfielder, with a view to preparing for the succession of Sergio Busquets, who will soon turn 38.
According to journalist Fabrizio Romano on Sunday, the Florida-based club has even got down to business by initiating talks with the Auriverde’s entourage and sending him an initial contract offer. Casemiro, for his part, is open to the move, which he considers attractive both from a sporting and personal perspective.
Europe and Saudi Arabia on the lookout
Whilst MLS currently holds the upper hand, certain clubs in Europe and Saudi Arabia, capable of making a compelling financial offer, remain on the lookout. The deal will depend in particular on Inter Miami’s ability to match the other offers to some extent. If it were to go ahead, however, it would lend a little more credibility to the North American league, recently bolstered by the arrivals of Antoine Griezmann, Thomas Müller, Heung-min Son and Lionel Messi – perhaps his future teammate – all of whom are in the twilight of their careers.
