Inter Miami bolsters midfield as long‑awaited Casemiro arrives

Today at 18:33, Inter Miami confirmed that Brazilian midfielder Casemiro will continue his career with the club. The move had been hinted at for some time, but final confirmation only arrived now.

Casemiro spent his best years anchoring the midfield of Real Madrid, where he helped the Spanish giants dominate Europe. His time in the capital saw him form a celebrated trio with Luka Modrić and Toni Kroos.

After leaving Real, he spent the last few seasons at Manchester United in England, where critics argued he no longer matched the level of his Spanish glory days. Under Michael Carrick in the final half‑year, he reclaimed a crucial role, contributing nine goals in his most recent season. Those goals highlighted his continued attacking value as a controlling midfielder.

His contract expired this summer, prompting a separation from the Mancunians. International media quickly reported that his next step would be Miami, and the club of Sir David Beckham confirmed the transfer.

At Inter Miami, Casemiro will line up alongside Sergio Reguilón, a former Real Madrid teammate he already knows well. The Brazilian will also share the dressing room with Lionel Messi and Luis Suárez.

Messi and Suárez, who spent years battling Casemiro in the Spanish Clasicos while representing Barcelona, now aim to set aside past rivalries for a common goal: securing a second MLS Cup in the young history of Inter Miami.

Casemiro’s career began at São Paulo in Brazil before Real Madrid brought him to Europe. The Spaniards later loaned him to FC Porto, after which he returned to the Bernabéu to form one of the best midfield trios ever. In 2022 he moved to Manchester United, where he amassed 160 appearances over four seasons, and he represented Brazil at the World Cup this summer.
