Inter Miami is close to signing midfielder Casemiro, putting him on track to share the field with Lionel Messi. The potential addition underscores Major League Soccer's growing ability to attract top talent from abroad.
Why Casemiro
Casemiro brings years of top-level experience to a Miami side that already features Messi. The deal, if completed, would give Inter Miami a midfield anchor to complement its attacking star. The club is nearing an agreement, though terms have not been finalized.
A boost for MLS
The signing highlights Major League Soccer's expanding global profile. As the league prepares for the 2026 World Cup, landing a player of Casemiro's caliber sends a signal. MLS has been adding bigger names in recent seasons, and this move fits that pattern.
Deal details
No timeline has been set for an official announcement. The deal is not yet done, but negotiations are advanced. Inter Miami could finalize the agreement within the coming weeks as the team builds its roster for the next campaign.
