Family Decisão and rejection of the European market led to transfer
The project presented by Inter Miami surpassed competition from other consolidated world football markets for structural and geographical reasons. Casemiro thoroughly evaluated Italian football’s proposals with his family before giving the definitive approval for the change of country. The city of Miami weighed favorably in the choice to the detriment of a formalized offer by Los Angeles Galaxy, which also tried to hire the veteran.
The technical committee of the Flórida club indicated that the athlete will be a central part of the tactical scheme for the next North American competitions. The midfielder understands that the Estados Unidos league offers the necessary competitiveness to maintain his physical performance at a high level. The reduction in the volume of official matches per year was the main argument to convince the player to end his career in European leagues.
