BBC • • sports
Key Points:
- Major League Soccer (MLS) is investigating Inter Miami for alleged tampering related to the signing of Brazil midfielder Casemiro, who joined the club on a contract through 2027 with an option to extend to 2029.
- The investigation focuses on the discovery rights system, with LA Galaxy holding Casemiro's rights before Inter Miami announced they had acquired them, leading to a settlement between the two clubs pending the investigation's outcome.
- Casemiro left Manchester United after the 2026-27 season, having made 160 appearances and won multiple titles, including five Champions League trophies with Real Madrid.
- Inter Miami co-owner David Beckham praised Casemiro's signing, highlighting the player's winning mentality and experience alongside other stars like Lionel Messi and Sergio Reguilon at Miami.
- This is not Inter Miami's first MLS rules issue; in 2021, the club was fined $2 million for breaching salary cap rules in the signing of Blaise Matuidi, violating the designated player limits.
