Lionel Messi, the famously quiet soccer legend, has had a profound impact on Inter Miami, an MLS team. Ever since he uttered the word “Miami” last June, friends and fellow Argentines have flocked to South Florida. Sergio Busquets, Messi’s longtime amigo, joined him. Jordi Alba took a significant pay cut to be part of the team. Luis Suarez arrived to reunite with them. But this isn’t just a reunion; it’s an unprecedented transfer-market haul.To get more news about 亚博体育, you can visit our official website.

Diego Gómez, a budding Paraguayan star, followed Messi to Inter Miami. Facundo Farías, a 20-year-old Argentine attacker, and Tomás Avilés, a highly touted teenage center back from Argentina’s Racing, joined soon after. Suddenly, soccer players from far and wide eyed Inter Miami with intrigue. Even Nicolás Freire, the Argentine captain of Mexican club Pumas, couldn’t resist the opportunity. He signed with Miami in January, excited about the experience.

However, Messi-mania has presented a challenge for Inter Miami. The team has assembled a talented roster, but very few can actually play for the Herons. Negotiations for Federico Redondo, a 21-year-old midfield star and top prospect in Argentina’s Primera, were complicated by MLS regulations and obstacles. Miami’s overall spending has raised suspicions related to rule enforcement and roster compliance.

Despite these challenges, Inter Miami’s superteam, built around Messi’s presence, is a marvel. With nine starting-caliber players arriving since July, and possibly more on the way, the team is pushing the envelope. Messi’s quiet influence has transformed a last-place team into a force to be reckoned with in MLS.
