Inter Miami CF has become the subject of an investigation by Major League Soccer (MLS) following the announcement of their acquisition of Brazilian midfielder Casemiro. The Florida-based club confirmed on Wednesday that they signed the 34-year-old player, who departed Manchester United at the close of the previous season. Casemiro’s contract with the team is set to run through the conclusion of the 2027 MLS season, with an additional option for extension available until June 2029.
However, the timing of the announcement was immediately followed by action from the league. Shortly after the player’s official presentation, MLS released a statement confirming that it had initiated an inquiry concerning alleged violations of the league’s negotiation rules, specifically regarding “tampering.” The league stated, “The league is gathering all necessary information and will not provide further comments until the investigation is concluded.”
The details of the matter under review remain undisclosed in the league’s initial statement. The focus of the ongoing inquiry pertains to the proper conduct surrounding player negotiations within the league structure.
This development comes shortly after the highly publicized transfer, placing the club and its management under scrutiny from the governing body of MLS. The league emphasized its commitment to adhering to established operational guidelines while the investigation proceeds.
