Outgoing Manchester United star Casemiro wants to join Inter Miami and become team-mates with Argentine legend Lionel Messi and play for David Beckham's MLS side

Casemiro is poised to snub a host of offers from Saudi Arabai to join David Beckham's Inter Miami this summer.

The Manchester United superstar will leave Old Trafford at the end of the season after failing to agree a new deal at Old Trafford.

Casemiro has still not announced what his next move will be. Saudi billionaires Al-Hilal and Al-Nassr have made multi-million pound offers to Casemiro to join them in the Pro-League.

But Casemiro has little interest in moving his family to the Arab state - and would prefer to go to the MLS instead. Beckham, who co-owns Inter Miami, used his influence to lure Lionel Messi to his club in 2023.

And he is now keen to do the same with Casemiro - as he looks to continue to build Inter Miami's brand on and off the pitch.

Inter Miami bosses have held talks with Casemiro about a lucrative deal that will keep him at the Floridian outfit until 2028, with the option of an extra 12 months.

Despite being 34 and in the twilight of his career, Casemiro remains one of the most high-profile footballers in the world.

And the prospect of teaming up with Messi at the Nu Stadium is proving impossible for him to turn down. Messi signed a contract extension in October, that will keep him at the club until 2028.

Living in Miami is also a strong pull for United ace Casemiro, who has won 84 international caps and 21 major trophies during his glittering career. Casemiro announced he would be leaving United earlier this season.

Despite his crucial influence on the team, United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe has been keen to reduce the club's wage bill. And with Casemiro earning £400,000-a-week, Ratcliffe decided to let him go and use the funds to invest in a suitable replacement.

Casemiro has been a revelation for United in recent weeks, helping them climb to third in the table and within touching distance of Champions League qualification.

United have drawn up a list of midfield targets to fill the sizeable hole Casemiro leaves behind. These include Elliot Anderson, Aurelien Tchouameni, Adam Wharton and Carlos Baleba.
