Major League Soccer continues to show the world that it is a competition willing to add as many of soccer’s top players as possible. Now, after Antoine Griezmann was confirmed to join Orlando City, new names have already been floated, with Casemiro standing out as a candidate for a move to MLS.
The Manchester United midfielder’s contract is due to expire this summer, meaning he will become a free agent unless the former Real Madrid star decides to renew his contract with the Red Devils, who are competing for a spot in the UEFA Champions League.
Teams paying attention to Casemiro
Tom Bogart of The Athletic reports that clubs such as Los Angeles Galaxy and Inter Miami are eyeing Casemiro as the Premier League season draws to a close. The paper states that these two transfer targets are the top candidates to secure a spot in the MLS summer transfer window.
The Brazilian midfielder is currently preparing with the Brazilian national team for international friendlies scheduled during this FIFA international period. Still, the increased interest is a clear sign that a potential move to MLS is gaining momentum.
For Inter Miami, Casemiro would serve as a natural replacement for Sergio Busquets and strengthen a squad that already features world stars such as Lionel Messi and Rodrygo de Paul.
Meanwhile, LA Galaxy currently have a designated player slot open and are waiting to assess Riqui Puig’s fitness towards the end of the year.
We will soon find out what decision the Brazilian ultimately makes and whether he opts for a move to Major League Soccer, an increasingly attractive destination for world-class players.
