Casemiro to Join Messi? Inter Miami Plot Shock MLS Move as Man United Exit Looms

The European journey of Casemiro appears to be entering its final act. The Brazilian midfielder has reportedly decided not to extend his contract with Manchester United, meaning he will leave the Premier League side at the end of the season and become a free agent just days before turning 34.

After a trophy-laden spell with Real Madrid — where he established himself as one of Europe’s most dominant defensive midfielders — Casemiro embraced a new challenge in England. His time at Old Trafford delivered flashes of leadership and physical authority, but with the club entering a transitional phase, both sides now appear ready to move in different directions.

For Casemiro, the next destination will likely define the closing chapter of a decorated career.

Saudi Arabia, Brazil, or MLS? The Options on the Table

Interest in the Brazilian veteran is already forming across multiple continents. Clubs in Saudi Arabia are reportedly prepared to offer competitive financial packages, with the added appeal of reuniting him with Cristiano Ronaldo — his former teammate during Real Madrid’s golden era.

Back home, the narrative carries a different tone. Brazil is entering a new cycle under Carlo Ancelotti, and Casemiro remains a respected figure within the national setup. A return to Brazilian football could position him as both mentor and stabilizing presence, potentially strengthening his international prospects.

However, the most intriguing possibility may lie in the United States.

From El Clásico Battles to Messi’s Teammate?

Inter Miami CF have reportedly emerged as a serious contender for Casemiro’s signature. The MLS franchise is seeking a long-term successor to Sergio Busquets, whose influence in midfield has been central to the club’s identity.

Casemiro is said to have already visited the United States with his wife and held exploratory talks with club representatives. If the move materializes, it would produce one of football’s most fascinating reunions.

For years, Casemiro was tasked with stopping Lionel Messi in El Clásico and international showdowns between Brazil and Argentina. His physical duels and tactical discipline often defined those rivalries. Now, the prospect of sharing a locker room — rather than contesting one — adds a dramatic twist to the narrative.

From fierce opponents to potential teammates under the Florida sun, the symbolism would be powerful. For MLS, it would represent another major statement in its strategy of attracting globally recognized stars.

As Casemiro weighs his options, the decision will likely balance competitiveness, lifestyle, and legacy. Whether he chooses Saudi Arabia, a Brazilian return, or the Messi-led project in Miami, one thing is certain: his next step will resonate far beyond the pitch.
