Inter Miami announced the signing of Brazilian midfielder Casemiro on Wednesday. However, Major League Soccer (MLS) is investigating the team for possible tampering in the deal.

Casemiro’s Signing and Investigation

Casemiro, a five-time Champions League winner, is under contract with Inter Miami through the end of next year’s sprint season, with an extension option through June 2029. His discovery rights were held by the LA Galaxy, which would have prevented Inter Miami from negotiating with him under league rules.

The teams reached a settlement that allowed Inter Miami to complete the signing, but the league is still probing the tampering allegation. The terms of the settlement will be released upon conclusion of the investigation.

Inter Miami co-owner David Beckham expressed his delight at Casemiro’s decision to join the team, saying, ‘He is a winner who has achieved so much in the game and after such an incredible career with Real Madrid and Manchester United I’m delighted that he’s decided to make Miami his next home.’
