Inter Miami signs Casemiro as MLS opens tampering investigation

Brazilian midfielder Casemiro confirmed his move to Inter Miami on a contract that runs through the end of the 2027 MLS season, with an option to extend to June 2029. The 34‑year‑old will join Lionel Messi, Rodrigo de Paul and other stars in the Florida club’s squad. The signing triggered a Major League Soccer inquiry into a possible tampering violation involving the league’s “discovery rights” system. Los Angeles Galaxy held the discovery priority for Casemiro; Inter Miami reached a settlement with the Galaxy, but MLS is reviewing whether the club contacted the player before acquiring those rights. Details of any financial settlement will be released after the investigation concludes. The league noted this is not the first scrutiny of Inter Miami’s transfer practices, recalling a 2021 salary‑cap breach. On the field, Inter Miami defeated Chicago Fire 3‑2 in the same week, a match that featured Robert Lewandowski’s under‑whelming MLS debut for the Fire. The result kept Miami second in the Eastern Conference and highlighted the club’s continued dominance despite the off‑field probe.
