Inter Miami announced the signing of five-time Champions League-winning Brazilian midfielder Casemiro on Wednesday, but Major League Soccer (MLS) is investigating whether the club committed any irregularities in completing the deal. Casemiro, 34, has agreed to a contract with Inter Miami until the end of the 2027 season, with an option to extend until June 2029. The player took part in all five of Brazil's matches at the 2022 World Cup, scoring a goal against Japan in the round of 16. The MLS is in fact moving from a traditional calendar, which runs from spring to autumn, to an international style which runs from summer to spring, therefore from July to May. To bridge the gap between the 2026 season and the start of the 2027-2028 season, MLS has established the "2027 Sprint Season", a 14-match tournament that will take place from February to May 2027. The "discovery" rights to Casemiro were held by the Los Angeles Galaxy. League rules would have prevented Inter Miami from negotiating with the player, but the two teams reached an agreement that allowed Inter Miami to finally make this long-awaited purchase. However, the League is still investigating possible irregularities. Image MLS released a statement regarding the matter: "The League is gathering all necessary information and will make no further comment until the investigation is complete. While Inter Miami and the Los Angeles Galaxy have reached an agreement regarding discovery priority to sign Casemiro, the terms of that agreement will be made public following the conclusion of the investigation." It is not clear when Casemiro will debut with the new Inter Miami shirt, as the player is still waiting to obtain the necessary visa to enter the United States. Casemiro has spent the last four seasons with Manchester United, having played the majority of his professional career with Real Madrid. “He is a winner who has achieved so much in his career and after an incredible career with Real Madrid and Manchester United I am delighted that he has decided to make Miami his next home,” said David Beckham, co-owner of Inter Miami.
