LA Galaxy and the loophole that could open the door for Casemiro to MLS
Despite being a key figure at Manchester United, the former Real Madrid midfielder has already confirmed he will leave the club at the end of the season
Manchester United have shown signs of revival under Michael Carrick, with Casemiro playing a central role in that resurgence. The Brazilian midfielder has already confirmed that he will leave United at the end of the season, triggering speculation about where his career will go next — including a possible move to MLS.
Could Casemiro join LA Galaxy? What we know
The 33-year-old Brazilian has made it clear that his time at Manchester United is coming to an end, but his next destination remains undecided. According to reports from the Daily Mail, LA Galaxy are monitoring his situation closely.
The main hurdle is roster-related. LA Galaxy currently have all three Designated Player spots filled, which are required to sign high-profile players above the salary cap.
One potential solution being considered would be to place Riqui Puig on the season-ending injury list, as the Spanish midfielder is expected to miss the entire campaign. That move would free up a Designated Player slot, potentially allowing the club to pursue Casemiro

Galaxy’s history of blockbuster signings
LA Galaxy have long been known for major star signings in MLS. The trend began with David Beckham in 2007, followed by global names such as Zlatan Ibrahimović.
Currently, the club’s Designated Players are Riqui Puig, Gabriel Pec and Joseph Paintsil, with Marco Reus also adding experience to the squad.
The Galaxy have also attracted top talent from the Americas over the years, including Javier “Chicharito” Hernández, Carlos “El Pescadito” Ruiz and Giovani dos Santos, reinforcing their reputation as one of MLS’s most ambitious clubs.
