Casemiro will leave Manchester United this summer. As his contract expires, the Brazilian midfielder has no intention of ending his career and is already looking ahead to his next move.

According to several sources, the most serious option points toward Major League Soccer. Lionel Messi's Inter Miami stands out as an attractive destination for Casemiro, who is enticed by life in Florida and the club’s sporting project. Other possibilities remain on the table: FC Porto and São Paulo FC are also said to have made enquiries. But right now, MLS seems to be in pole position.

After joining Manchester United following a successful spell at Real Madrid, Casemiro has made 150 appearances for the Red Devils, scoring 22 goals and providing 14 assists. His next challenge could very well take place in the United States.
