Why Inter Miami Must Pay LA Galaxy for Casemiro: Inside MLS Discovery Rules
Inter Miami secured Casemiro as a free agent following his departure from Manchester United, with a contract through the 2027 MLS season and an option to extend to mid-2029. LA Galaxy filed a formal complaint over the midfielder’s Discovery Rights, prompting a league tampering investigation. The two clubs reached a confidential settlement on priority negotiation terms, which MLS will disclose when the probe concludes. MLS franchises can list up to five international players on a Discovery List, giving them exclusive negotiation rights. Galaxy say they made offers to Casemiro first, but he chose to reunite with Messi in Miami—mirroring a past case when Galaxy paid Charlotte for Marco Reus’s rights.
