Casemiro set for three-year Inter Miami

Casemiro is set to join Inter Miami on a three-year contract after leaving Manchester United at the end of his deal, according to a May 21 report from Chosun. The report said the Brazil midfielder turned down offers from Europe and Saudi Arabia before choosing Miami, where he would join Lionel Messi. (chosun.com) Manchester United had not announced transfer terms or a fee, and Inter Miami had not confirmed the move as of Thursday. ### When does Casemiro leave Manchester United? Casemiro’s Manchester United contract is listed as expiring on June 30, 2026, according to Transfermarkt. Chosun reported that he has already said goodbye to supporters and will leave this summer after the contract runs out. (chosun.com) The 34-year-old joined United in August 2022 after spells at Sao Paulo, Porto and Real Madrid. Transfermarkt lists him as a defensive midfielder from Sao Jose dos Campos, Brazil. ### What exactly has been reported about the Inter Miami deal? Chosun reported on May 21 that the agreement is for three years. (chosun.com) FOX Sports, citing the same developing story, said Inter Miami were closing in on a move that would bring Casemiro to Major League Soccer and pair him with Messi. Tribuna, citing sources on May 20, said Inter Miami were Casemiro’s preferred destination and that a deal was expected to be reached. (transfermarkt.com) Goal also reported that Miami had beaten the LA Galaxy to the player’s preferred landing spot in MLS. ### Why is Miami the notable destination here? (transfermarkt.com) Inter Miami’s roster already includes Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez, according to club and MLS roster pages. A Casemiro arrival would add another veteran with a long European resume to a squad built around established international names. FOX Sports said the move would unite Casemiro with a former rival in Messi. (chosun.com) Chosun said he rejected other offers before opting for South Florida. ### What is still unconfirmed? Manchester United had not announced a transfer fee or any departure terms on May 21, and Chosun’s report indicates the move follows the expiration of Casemiro’s contract rather than a sale. (tribuna.com) Inter Miami’s official roster page did not list Casemiro as of Thursday. (intermiamicf.com) The reporting available Thursday does not set out salary details, option years or registration mechanics under MLS roster rules. MLS roster materials note that clubs operate within a 30-man roster structure, but neither the league nor the club had published Casemiro-specific registration details. (foxsports.com) ### What happens next? June 30, 2026 is the listed expiry date of Casemiro’s Manchester United contract, making that the key formal milestone if the reported move proceeds. Inter Miami’s next public confirmation would likely come through its roster page or a club announcement, while Manchester United would be expected to confirm his exit separately.
