The MLS side view Casemiro as the ideal replacement to anchor their midfield and provide defensive stability alongside their attacking stars.<\/p>\n<p>Casemiro, 33, has struggled for consistency at Old Trafford this season and has fallen down the pecking order under manager Ruben Amorim. With his contract nearing its final year and no extension talks progressing, the Brazilian has made the decision to seek a new challenge abroad rather than continue in the Premier League.<\/p>\n<p>Inter Miami\u2019s interest also carries a compelling narrative twist. For years, Casemiro was one of the key players tasked with stopping Lionel Messi during fierce El Cl\u00e1sico battles between Real Madrid and Barcelona. Now, the two could become teammates, with Casemiro potentially serving as Messi\u2019s on-field protector in Major League Soccer.<\/p>\n<p>However, these reports aren\u2019t true and there\u2019s no official or credible backing to this reports. So this will still be considered as a rumour. Casemiro is said to be only focused on United currently and not thinking about his future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to reports from Turkish outlet Sporf, Inter Miami are preparing for life after club legend Sergio Busquets, who is\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":202,"featured_media":44418,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4660],"tags":[2614,3686,682,1823,3796,3648,487,249,978],"class_list":["post-44414","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-transfer-news","tag-casemiro","tag-david-ornstein","tag-el-clasico","tag-fabrizio-romano","tag-football","tag-inter-miami","tag-lionel-messi","tag-manchester-united","tag-miami"],"reading_time":"1 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44414","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/202"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=44414"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44414\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":44419,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44414\/revisions\/44419"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/44418"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=44414"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=44414"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=44414"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
