Ahead of the near future, Inter Miami have decided to strengthen their roster in pursuit of another MLS Cup title. As a result, the Herons have announced the marquee signing of Casemiro as Lionel Messi’s new star teammate. Inter Miami won the 2025 MLS Cup, achieving a historic milestone. However, the club has undergone a major transformation of its roster, as Sergio Busquets retired in January 2026. Looking to reinforce the squad’s consistency for head coach Guillermo Hoyos, the Herons have announced the marquee signing of Casemiro, who arrives as a free agent after shining for Manchester United.
“Inter Miami CF announced today that it has signed Brazilian international midfielder Casemiro. The five-time UEFA Champions League-winning midfielder joins the Club as a free agent and will remain under contract through the conclusion of the 2027 MLS Sprint Season, with an extension option until June 2029″, reports the Herons on their website.
Despite already being 34 years old, Casemiro was an undisputed starter for Manchester United during the 2025-26 season. Demonstrating his high level, he scored 9 goals and provided 2 assists, becoming one of the team’s pillars. However, he has decided to make a change in his professional career, motivated by Inter Miami’s sporting project, he revealed during his presentation.
“I’m incredibly grateful, and I can’t wait to get started so I can repay that trust—not only during the 90 minutes on matchday, but every day in training as well. All I can say is thank you, and I’ll give everything I have to return the affection and confidence the Club has shown me,” Casemiro said via Inter Miami’s website.
