Inter Miami co‑owner Jorge Mas fired back at Major League Soccer’s Discovery List rule, saying he has fought the system for over two years. He argues the rule gives clubs an unfair first‑look at players they may not even know about, and that the list remains secret.

MLS allows each club to list up to five players, granting them exclusive negotiation rights before any other MLS side can approach the target. Mas says the process hinders fair competition and forces clubs into blind negotiations.

The controversy erupted after MLS opened a review into a tampering claim linked to Casemiro’s move to Inter Miami. LA Galaxy holds discovery priority on the Brazilian midfielder, forcing the Floridians to secure his rights before talks could begin.

Mas insists Inter Miami did not violate rules, noting the club settled the priority dispute and only began negotiations after clearance. He also pointed out the secrecy of discovery lists keeps players unaware of their status. Inter Miami co‑owner reiterated that the club followed MLS law and that any tampering accusations were unfounded.
