What happened: Casemiro is reported to be on the verge of a three-year deal with Inter Miami. The 34-year-old midfielder scored in Brazil's 2-1 win over Japan, the latest goal in a season that has seen him net 12 times. A move to Major League Soccer would reunite him with a Brazilian's-eye view of the league's growing star power.

Why it matters: The reported deal would slot Casemiro into a midfield alongside Lionel Messi and Rodrigo De Paul, adding a proven defensive anchor to Inter Miami's spine. For a player still influential for Brazil deep into the World Cup, the timing underlines how MLS continues to attract established names in their mid-30s.

By the numbers: Casemiro is 34 and has 12 goals this season, capped by his strike in the 2-1 victory over Japan. Brazil have won both of their matches this stretch, scoring three per game and conceding none, with a 3-0 win at Scotland on June 24.

What to watch: Watch for official confirmation of the move from Inter Miami and for how Casemiro features in Brazil's remaining World Cup matches.
