Inter Miami are reportedly set to face an additional £750,000 cost if they proceed with a move to sign former Manchester United midfielder Casemiro.
The MLS club have been linked with a move for the Brazilian, who departed Old Trafford following a difficult spell in the Premier League.
Casemiro was once considered one of the best defensive midfielders in world football, winning multiple Champions League titles with Real Madrid.
His time at Manchester United did not go as hoped, with the club suffering a significant decline during his tenure at Old Trafford.
Inter Miami, backed by high-profile ownership and a growing reputation for attracting elite players, are understood to be keen on adding experience to their squad.
However, a little-known rule within football’s transfer regulations means any club pursuing the midfielder could face a significant additional financial obligation.
The £750,000 fee is reported to be tied to specific transfer conditions, adding a notable cost on top of any deal to secure the player’s services.
Inter Miami have already demonstrated their willingness to invest heavily in marquee signings, having previously brought in global icons to play in South Florida.
The club will need to weigh up whether the additional financial burden changes the overall value of completing a deal for the experienced midfielder.
Casemiro would bring considerable experience to an Inter Miami squad competing across multiple competitions in the 2026 season.
His presence in central midfield could offer structure and leadership, qualities that ambitious clubs in Major League Soccer are increasingly seeking to import.
Whether the reported fee ultimately proves a stumbling block or simply a manageable addition to the transfer cost remains to be seen in the coming weeks.
