If you recall that the 33-year-old's contract with the Championship club Stoke City was terminated by mutual consent on Friday.
Ryan became popular for the negative reason for a controversial figure in the Premier League when he broke Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey's leg in a tackle and was shown a red card.
The centre-back is still to undergo a medical at the Florida club and is waiting to be granted an International Transfer Certificate and a P1 Visa.
Shawcross spent 13 years with the Potters, making over 450 appearances in all competitions.
He was made the team's captain in 2011 and remained a first-team regular until he suffered a leg injury in 2019, limiting him to just five Championship appearances that season.
"With Ryan, having known him for a long time since he was a youth team player at Manchester United and then following his career at Stoke, I know that he fits into what we want to do at Inter Miami," coach Phil Neville told the club's website.
"He’s a good leader on and off the field, he sets the example for others to follow in terms of his professionalism. He’s someone that I think will be a brilliant asset to the Club over the next couple of seasons,” added Neville."
He added: "On the field what he brings is great experience. Experience of playing at the top level, he’s played for England, he’s played in the Premier League,.
"He knows what it takes to be successful and I think that attitude, that ability to defend really well and to be a real threat in the opposition’s box on set pieces will make us really powerful and a strong defensive unit. He provides great experience and great competition now for the other defenders."
