Major League Soccer (MLS) clubs Inter Miami and Los Angeles Galaxy are exploring moves for Casemiro when he leaves Manchester United this summer, according to The Athletic.
The Brazilian confirmed in January that he will leave Old Trafford at the end of the season, with Man United opting against triggering a one-year extension clause in his deal.
That decision brings an end to a mixed stint in England, where Casemiro has made 155 appearances since arriving from Real Madrid for £60 million.
Miami are weighing up Casemiro as a potential successor to Sergio Busquets, although any deal will require financial manoeuvring to comply with MLS salary rules.
LA Galaxy are also monitoring the situation closely, as they want to add another marquee name to their squad alongside Marco Reus.
However, the MLS duo will not have a clear run at one of the most decorated midfielders of the 21st century.
Saudi Pro League clubs are also circling, and their financial muscle might prove decisive.
With Casemiro still performing at a high level, contributing goals and leadership for both club and country this season, he is a premium target in a market where elite experience is highly valued.
Casemiro now has a choice to make as a transatlantic battle brews for one of the greatest defensive midfielders of all time.
The commercial pull and lifestyle appeal of the United States, coupled with the chance to join a growing cluster of global stars in MLS, could be tempting.
However, the Middle East can offer lucrative contracts that European clubs cannot match, although the region’s unrest may also play a role in his decision.
