Casemiro closes in on a three-year deal with new club before the Copa

Midfielder Casemiro is close to being announced as Inter Miami’s new signing, joining Lionel Messi and Luis Suárez’s team in the United States.

After saying goodbye to Manchester United, the 34-year-old player is expected to sign a three-season contract, according to ge.

The negotiations with the U.S. team have already been reported over the past few weeks, and according to Grupo Globo’s sports website, the player expects to finalize the bureaucratic details and sign the deal in the coming days, securing his future before the 2026 World Cup.

Talks between Casemiro and the North American club have been ongoing for more than two months.

Before moving forward with Inter Miami, the midfielder considered and turned down approaches from other markets, including clubs from Saudi Arabia and even European giants such as Inter Milan and Juventus (Italy).

LA Galaxy (USA) also approached the player, but he gave preference to Miami.

Together with his family, Casemiro chose Inter Miami’s project because he sees a competitive structure aligned with a less intense match schedule than in Europe.

Farewell to Manchester United

Casemiro ends his four-season spell with the English side having won two titles (the EFL Cup and the FA Cup).

This season, he reached the most prolific scoring mark of his career, with nine goals. He has been released and will not play in the final round of the Premier League.

Focus on the Brazilian National Team

The player is now turning his attention to the national team. He will report to Granja Comary next Wednesday to begin preparations for his third World Cup. Brazil’s schedule includes:

May 31: Friendly against Panama.

June 6: Friendly against Egypt in the United States.

June 13: World Cup opener against Morocco.
