Inter Miami will close the season with two friendlies in China and then will aim all its guns at building the squad for the next campaign. Las Garzas were left out of the MLS Playoffs and will only officially return to the ring at the end of February or beginning of March, when the United States championship begins again. However, in the last duel with Charlotte we began to see some decisions that the leaders made with some players.

 

An absence that drew attention in North Carolina was that of Josef Martínez, a Venezuelan forward who is also one of the three franchise players. However, in a press conference, Tata Martino revealed that the exclusion had to do with the fact that the native of Valencia would not be part of the team in the next campaign, which is why he will not travel to the Asian tour either. Later, the Garzas officially confirmed the losses of not only Josef, but also Victor Ulloa and Jake LaCava, but they also began to talk about reinforcements.

Although Luis Suárez is the most resonant name and the one that generates the most expectations among fans, the truth is that he will not be the first to arrive. On the contrary, that will be the Argentine defender Leandro González Pírez, a defender who belongs to Inter and who is on loan at River Plate, a club where he has a purchase option. However, journalist Juan Cortese revealed that the defender's intention is to return to the United States to share the squad with Messi, so it is a fact that he will be the first new face. Furthermore, this player was already managed by Tata Martino at Atlanta United.

 

Luis Suárez will arrive as a free agent and will be a franchise player

Although it will not be the first, it is almost a fact that the Gunslinger will sign as a free agent at the beginning of 2024 to reunite with Lionel Messi. In addition, they also assume that he will be a franchise player and will not have a salary cap now that Josef Martínez freed up that position.
