Inter Miami Complete Stunning Casemiro Signing as Messi's Squad Gets Another Superstar

Inter Miami have officially announced the signing of Casemiro, bringing one of the most decorated midfielders of the modern era to Major League Soccer after the Brazilian's departure from Manchester United.

The 34-year-old joins Lionel Messi, Rodrigo De Paul and the rest of Javier Mascherano's ambitious squad on a free transfer, ending a four-year spell at Old Trafford and adding even more world-class experience to one of football's most star-studded projects.
