Inter Miami’s pursuit of Casemiro suits their model, but what is the price? | OneFootball

Inter Miami are flying under interim coach Guillermo Hoyos, yet a pursuit of Casemiro would fit their star-led model while posing significant cost and roster hurdles.

According to interheron.com, the 34-year-old Brazilian is the club’s target this year, and any deal would require freeing a designated player slot and securing his MLS discovery rights from the Los Angeles Galaxy.

Sunday’s come-from-behind shootout win at the Philadelphia Union made it four straight under Hoyos. The champions hit a 59-day World Cup break at 9-2-4 and 31 points, second in the East and fourth overall, with a league-high 39 goals and a goal difference of +11.

They are 7-1-1 away and, after a slow start at their glamorous new home, have won two in a row at Nu Stadium.

Owners David Beckham and brothers Jorge and José Mas have made marquee additions, recruiting Messi, Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets in 2023, Luis Suárez before 2024 and Rodrigo De Paul last summer. The strategy has kept Miami prominent and brought trophies, namely the 2023 Leagues Cup, 2024 Supporters’ Shield and 2025 MLS Cup.

Casemiro won three La Liga and five Champions League titles with Real Madrid before joining Manchester United in 2022. His reported 2025-26 salary of about $25 million would rank second in MLS behind Messi at $28.3 million.
