Major League Soccer continues to show the world that it is a competition willing to add as much top football talent as possible. Now, after the arrival of Antoine Griezmann at Orlando City was confirmed, new names are already being mentioned, with Casemiro standing out as a potential MLS transfer target.
The Manchester United midfielder will see his contract expire this summer, which means he will become a free agent – unless the former Real Madrid star decides to renew with the “Red Devils,” who are fighting for a place in the UEFA Champions League.
Teams keeping an eye on Casemiro
With the Premier League season drawing to a close, clubs such as LA Galaxy and Inter Miami have set their sights on Casemiro, according to a report from Tom Bogert of The Athletic. The report states that these two destinations are the strongest candidates to secure his services in the MLS summer transfer window.
At the moment, the Brazilian midfielder is with the Brazil national team preparing for the international friendlies scheduled during this FIFA international window. Still, the growing interest is a clear sign that a potential move to MLS is gaining traction.
In the case of Inter Miami, Casemiro would serve as the natural replacement for Sergio Busquets, strengthening a squad that already features global stars like Lionel Messi and Rodrigo De Paul.
Meanwhile, at LA Galaxy – where they do not currently have available Designated Player slots – the club is waiting to assess Riqui Puig‘s physical condition heading into the end of the year.
We will soon see what the Brazilian’s final decision will be and whether he chooses to move to Major League Soccer, a destination that is becoming increasingly attractive for world-class players.
