Casemiro keen to team with Messi at Miami

Casemiro said he joined Miami to help Lionel Messi and the club, while MLS reviews whether the signing followed discovery-rights rules.

  • On Thursday, Inter Miami officially presented Brazilian midfielder Casemiro at Nu Stadium. The former Real Madrid player joined the club as a free agent to play alongside captain Lionel Messi.
  • For years, Casemiro and Messi were fierce adversaries in Spanish league clasicos, representing Real Madrid and Barcelona respectively. The pair now unite in Major League Soccer after countless head-to-head battles.
  • Calling Messi "unstoppable," Casemiro noted the Argentine star's hunger to win remains impressive despite their many past battles. He also described Messi as a "god of football."
  • Major League Soccer is investigating possible "tampering" regarding "discovery rights" for the signing. Inter Miami co-owner Jorge Mas denied impropriety, stating the club "abided by those rules to the letter of the law."
  • Following a four-year stint at Manchester United, Casemiro made his debut on Saturday in a 1-0 win against Montreal. The 37-year-old midfielder is integrating into the squad ahead of upcoming matches.
