Casemiro is set to reject numerous proposals from Saudi Arabia to join David Beckham's Inter Miami this summer. The Manchester United star will depart Old Trafford at the conclusion of the campaign after being unable to secure a fresh contract at the club.

Casemiro has yet to reveal what his next destination will be. Saudi billionaires Al-Hilal and Al-Nassr have tabled multi-million-pound bids to Casemiro to sign for them in the Pro-League. However, Casemiro has minimal interest in relocating his family to the Arab state and would rather head to MLS instead.

Beckham, who co-owns Inter Miami, utilised his pull to attract Lionel Messi to his side in 2023.

And he is now eager to replicate that with Casemiro as he seeks to further develop Inter Miami's reputation both on and off the field.

Inter Miami executives have discussed a lucrative arrangement with Casemiro to retain him at the Florida-based club until 2028, with the possibility of an additional 12 months.

Despite being 34 and approaching the latter stages of his career, Casemiro remains amongst the most prominent footballers globally.

And the opportunity of linking up with Messi at the Nu Stadium is proving irresistible for him to decline.

Messi penned a contract extension in October that will keep him at the side until 2028.

Living in Miami is also a considerable attraction for United midfielder Casemiro, who has earned 84 international caps and won 21 major honours throughout his illustrious career.

Casemiro confirmed he would be departing United earlier this season. Despite his pivotal role within the side, United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe has been eager to slash the club's wage bill.

With Casemiro commanding £400,000-a-week, Ratcliffe opted to allow him to leave and redirect the funds towards investing in an appropriate replacement.

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

United have compiled a shortlist of midfield targets to fill the considerable void left by Casemiro's departure.

These include Elliot Anderson, Aurelien Tchouameni, Adam Wharton and Carlos Baleba.
