On the heels of the 2026 World Cup, club soccer seasons are getting back into full swing. Brazilian and former Manchester United midfielder Casemiro's move to Inter Miami is being investigated by the MLS for tampering.
The American soccer league has a system in place, called discovery rights, in which a player joining the MLS from another league can only negotiate with a club that has the player's rights. If a club signs a player without those discovery rights, it is required to make a payment and officially acquire their rights.
While Casemiro was signed as a free transfer, Miami will likely have to pay an additional fee for signing the Brazilian because the LA Galaxy had his discovery rights.
Here's the rundown on why Inter Miami's latest signing is being investigated by the MLS.
