This summer, the Major League Soccer market was marked by the transfer of Brazilian midfielder Casemiro to Inter Miami, a club in which he has committed for a period of one year, with an option to extend until 2029. Yet LA Galaxy general manager Will Kuntz recently revealed that the player initially wanted to wear the colours of the Galaxy, Inter Miami's main rival in California.

Casemiro, 34, arrived in Miami after four seasons at Manchester United, where he notably won the English League Cup and the FA Cup. He had decided not to renew his contract with the Red Devils to try a new adventure in MLS.

According to Will Kuntz, Casemiro contacted him to express his desire to play for the LA Galaxy. However, two months later, the Brazilian midfielder reportedly claimed that he only wanted to evolve for Inter Miami. This divergence of information led to tensions between the two clubs, especially since the LA Galaxy held the player's rights of discovery. So MLS launched an investigation to clarify the situation.

On the field, Casemiro started with Inter Miami in July in a 1-0 win over CF Montreal. In his second game, he inadvertently scored a goal against his side in a 2-2 draw against the Columbus Crew. Despite this awkwardness, the Florida club remains in a good position, occupying second place in the Eastern Conference.

On the side of LA Galaxy, who failed to qualify for the Leagues Cup this season, attention now turns to their next MLS match against Houston Dynamo. Inter Miami, meanwhile, are preparing for the sequel with an important poster against the leaders of Nashville SC on August 15, as part of the Leagues Cup.

This case raises many questions about the management of player rights within MLS, an increasingly attractive league for international stars looking to end their careers in style. For Casemiro, the final choice was Inter Miami, but the veil remains on the exact reasons for this turnaround, while the LA Galaxy declared until then to be certain to welcome it.
