What happened: Inter Miami CF has officially signed Casemiro, the five-time UEFA Champions League winner, on a free transfer. The club confirmed the move follows a three-year contract the midfielder agreed to in June, closing out the tampering investigation MLS opened into the deal.

Why it matters: Casemiro's arrival adds another marquee name to a roster already built around high-profile signings, deepening the midfield as Inter Miami pushes through the MLS season. The confirmation also closes the loop on weeks of reporting about how the deal was reached before it became official.

What to watch: Watch for Casemiro's debut date and whether MLS issues any findings or penalty from its tampering investigation.
