Casemiro reveals reasons why he chose Inter Miami over LA Galaxy

Casemiro became one of MLS’s biggest signings when he joined Inter Miami, but his destination could have been very different. The veteran Brazilian midfielder revealed that he also received an offer from the LA Galaxy before ultimately deciding to join Lionel Messi’s project in South Florida.

In an interview, the former Real Madrid star explained the factors that influenced his decision and why he believed the Herons were the best place to continue his career.

The five-time UEFA Champions League winner said his decision wasn’t based solely on soccer.

With those comments, Casemiro put an end to speculation about a potential move to the LA Galaxy and made it clear why he chose to share a locker room with Lionel Messi at one of the most closely followed teams in American soccer.
