Despite being linked with Lionel Messi's side, Inter Miami will face multiple obstacles to pull off Casemiro's signing in the summer transfer window. Casemiro has emerged as Inter Miami’s primary target over the last few months, with the veteran Brazilian midfielder representing a massive potential upgrade for a squad desperately lacking an elite holding midfielder. However, for the former Manchester United star to officially become Lionel Messi‘s newest teammate, the MLS franchise will have to navigate several complex roster obstacles along the way. With his contract expiring in June, Casemiro has already announced his departure from Old Trafford at the conclusion of the 2025-26 European season, devastating United fans who hoped to see him for one more year. At present, the midfielder has reported to Brazil’s training camp ahead of the 2026 World Cup and is deferring any official announcement regarding his next destination, though all signs point to South Florida. According to transfer insider Ben Jacobs, Casemiro prefers a move to Inter Miami to continue his illustrious career, and the MLS side is already closing in on a deal. Still, if the Herons want to cross the finish line, they will have to get creative with the league’s roster rules, as financial constraints aren’t the only hurdles blocking the transaction. The roster hurdles complicating Casemiro’s arrival The most glaring issue for Inter Miami is their current lack of an open Designated Player slot, as Lionel Messi, Rodrigo De Paul, and recently acquired forward Germán Berterame currently occupy the club’s three designated spots. However, this may not be a dealbreaker; Jacobs reports that verbal terms are nearing completion on a structure where Casemiro would sign a team-friendly contract for his first year before transitioning into a DP slot via a non-guaranteed extension option. Casemiro of Manchester United reacts during his last game at Old Trafford. Even under that flexible scenario, Inter Miami are under intense pressure to generate General Allocation Money (GAM). According to official MLS data from March, a highly aggressive winter transfer window left the Herons with just $17,361 in available GAM, meaning that without a DP tag, Casemiro’s initial salary cannot exceed the league’s maximum budget charge of $1.8 million per season. To manufacture the necessary cap space, Inter Miami will likely be forced to offload talent, potentially targeting young first-team players who have yet to fully cement their roles, such as Yannick Bright, David Ruiz, or Telasco Segovia. The club has already taken its first structural step toward clearing the books with Benjamin Cremaschi’s reported permanent transfer to Serie A side Parma, though more outgoings are expected before the summer window shuts. Finally, while not strictly a salary-cap issue, Inter Miami will face an additional financial tax by having to buy Casemiro’s Discovery Rights from the LA Galaxy. The Brazilian veteran has already informed the Galaxy of his exclusive desire to join Miami, which prevents a prolonged bidding war, but the Herons will still need to send a compensation fee to Los Angeles to officially unlock his signature. Ever since Sergio Busquets stepped away from the game last season, Inter Miami has struggled to find a reliable anchor in the center of the park, with David Ayala falling short of expectations and the team currently leaning on a double pivot of Bright and De Paul. While Casemiro’s defensive bite would be an instant game-changer for Messi’s side, front-office executives face a frantic couple of weeks to sort out the financial mathematics required to make it a reality.

Preston Plambeck will join Lionel Messi as part of the Inter Miami squad for the remainder of the 2026 Major League Soccer season. Inter Miami are playing their final matches before Major League Soccer pauses at the end of May due to the 2026 FIFA World Cup. In that context, Lionel Messi will have a new permanent teammate after the club signed Preston Plambeck. “Inter Miami CF announced today it has signed Academy graduate Preston Plambeck to a contract running through the end of the 2026 Major League Soccer (MLS) season,” the Herons explained in a statement published on their official website Wednesday. The club also detailed that the deal includes options for the 2027, 2028, and 2029 seasons. Plambeck is a 20-year-old midfielder who developed in Inter Miami’s academy and gradually climbed through the ranks before joining the club’s MLS NEXT Pro side in 2025. Since then, he has recorded three goals and three assists in 26 appearances for Inter Miami II. Those performances earned Preston the opportunity to join the club’s senior squad this year and make his MLS debut under Guillermo Hoyos. The coach gave him his first chance on April 25, when he replaced David Ruiz in the 69th minute of a 1-1 draw against the New England Revolution. Last weekend, Plambeck added another 12 minutes in the 4-2 victory over Toronto FC. Work pays off. ⚡️Academy graduate Preston Plambeck signs with the First Team ✍️🩷🗞️ Details here: https://t.co/bvRZAa4F0P pic.twitter.com/nYQWOR359p— Inter Miami CF (@InterMiamiCF) May 13, 2026 An interesting addition for Inter Miami Preston Plambeck’s involvement with Inter Miami’s first team, along with the decision to sign him to a professional contract for the remainder of the season, is tied not only to the qualities the young midfielder has shown so far, but also to the need to solve an issue the Herons have faced this year. After Sergio Busquets retired at the end of 2025, Inter Miami have struggled to rebuild their midfield. David Ayala arrived as a signing expected to fill that role, but injuries and inconsistent performances have complicated those plans. Yannick Bright has largely taken over those responsibilities, but the two-game suspension he served several weeks ago exposed the lack of depth on the roster in that area. That forced Hoyos to experiment with Rodrigo De Paul, David Ruiz, and Telasco Segovia in deeper roles, something that did not work particularly well because it left Lionel Messi with less support in the creative phase. That is why having Preston Plambeck consistently available could become a useful option for Inter Miami moving forward. Plambeck’s comments In the same statement released by the club, Preston Plambeck shared his thoughts on becoming a professional soccer player. “I’ve worked my whole life to reach this moment, and I want to make my family proud,” said the young midfielder. “I think my pathway through the Academy and the Second Team helped shape me by teaching me discipline and helping me understand the Club’s style of play through all the coaches who guided me along the way.”
