Casemiro facing unusual obstacle in bid to complete Inter Miami switch

Casemiro’s expected move from Manchester United to Inter Miami has hit a notable obstacle. United had the option to extend his contract by 12 months but chose not to exercise it, clearing the way for his departure after joining United in 2022 from Real Madrid for about £70 million. In 2025/26 he posted a career‑high nine goals and two assists in 34 Premier League appearances, and his Old Trafford farewell came with a 3‑2 win over Nottingham Forest, complete with a standing ovation. Inter Miami appear near a deal, with his camp and the club reporting progress, though a final hurdle remains: LA Galaxy’s discovery‑rights demand of £750,000.
