Another complication is that LA Galaxy reportedly hold Casemiro's MLS discovery rights, meaning Inter Miami may need to negotiate with them first.

The young Venezuelan midfielder welcomed the idea of adding a player with Casemiro's experience and leadership, especially as Miami look for a long-term replacement for Sergio Busquets in midfield.

Casemiro's possible arrival is seen inside the club as a major boost because of his experience with Real Madrid , Manchester United, and the Brazil national team .
