Casemiro said he wanted to play for us - Galaxy GM

LA Galaxy's general manager Will Kuntz revealed that Brazil midfielder Casemiro had expressed his desire to play for the Galaxy before ultimately joining Inter Miami. The 34-year-old Casemiro, who moved from Manchester United to Inter Miami on a free transfer in July, has a contract that runs until the end of the 2027 MLS season with the option to extend until June 2029.

Kuntz was commenting on the league's ongoing investigation into Inter Miami's signing process of Casemiro, which could potentially impact the California-based team's rights over the player. The MLS is currently gathering all relevant information before presenting their findings, with the league stating they will not comment further until the review is complete.
