Casemiro chose only Inter Miami to play alongside Messi.
Casemiro is included in Brazil's official 26-player squad for the 2026 World Cup and is the captain, while Neymar will only play a supporting role.
With his contract with Manchester United nearing its end, the 34-year-old veteran midfielder has announced his departure from Old Trafford. He will play his final match of the season against Brighton on May 24th, before joining the Brazilian national team.

Just before the 2026 World Cup, Casemiro will become a free agent, meaning he will need to quickly identify a new club to join and continue his career after the tournament in the USA, Mexico, and Canada concludes.
"Casemiro just wants Miami to be his next destination, and it's clear he'll be signing soon. The Brazilian wants to finish the season at Manchester United before signing with Inter Miami."
"Negotiations between Inter Miami and Casemiro are in the final stages of the deal, after numerous contacts between the two sides since March," Fabrizio Romano stated in a social media post on May 21, reaffirming information he had previously reported several months ago.
Meanwhile, according to leading US newspaper The Athletic : "Inter Miami is the preferred destination for Brazilian midfielder Casemiro, with the top MLS club very close to reaching an agreement with the veteran player who is about to leave Manchester United. In fact, Inter Miami and Casemiro are even discussing a private deal that would avoid any potential violations of MLS rules."

Meanwhile, LA Galaxy holds the right of first refusal to negotiate with Casemiro, a mechanism known as "discovery rights" in MLS, and they hope to persuade him to come to Los Angeles.
However, in reality, Casemiro and his family only wanted to go to Inter Miami because they were pleased with the club's project, which is chaired and co-owned by David Beckham.
Casemiro also wants to play alongside Messi after both of them end their international careers following the 2026 World Cup. Furthermore, according to The Athletic , Casemiro and his family feel they will have a more comfortable personal life in Miami.
The second transfer window of the MLS season will open on July 13th, at which point the Casemiro to Inter Miami deal will be finalized. Casemiro's arrival would be the happiest for Messi, as he would have a dream partner to replace his close friend Sergio Busquets, who will retire after the 2025 season.
