Messi to Get New Partner: Inter Miami Agrees to Sign Casemiro Post-World Cup 2026

Inter Miami is poised to add another international star to its roster, having secured a verbal agreement with Brazilian midfielder Casemiro. The Major League Soccer club expects to welcome the player following his participation in the 2026 World Cup.

According to reports, Casemiro opted for Inter Miami's project and the chance to play with Lionel Messi, turning down lucrative offers from Saudi Arabia. While formal procedures are still pending, sources indicate a mutual understanding between all parties involved.

This signing would represent a notable career transition for Casemiro, who spent four seasons with Manchester United. The 34-year-old midfielder is currently representing Brazil in the 2026 World Cup under coach Carlo Ancelotti. He has been a key player in Brazil's matches, starting in their draw against Morocco and their victory over Haiti.

The move is particularly intriguing given Casemiro's history as a direct rival to Messi during their time playing for Real Madrid and Barcelona, respectively. Now, they are set to become teammates in a project aimed at establishing Inter Miami as a dominant force in MLS.
