The Leagues Cup 2023 is not enough for Inter Miami which has the highest ranking team in the United States. With the Concacaf Champions League and Major League Soccer as goals, Gerardo Martino’s Herons fervently intervene in the transfer market, trying to put together a squad that is up to the task. Who arrived? Who left? Who is ringing in the halls of the DRV PNK Stadium?
Inter Miami 2024 is being put together
As soon as Inter Miami did not have the opportunity to qualify for the MLS playoffs, Tata Martino began designing the 2024 version of the Herons. The first thing he did was cut four players that he was no longer going to take into account: the Ecuadorian Dixon ArroyoJake LaCava, the Mexican Víctor Ulloa and the Venezuelan Josef Martinez. Then, Kamal Miller’s departure confirmedcentral defender who played a crucial role in the previous season.
Miller had contributed significantly to the consecration of the Leagues Cup, forming the defense with Tomás Avilés and the Ukrainian Sergii Kryvtsov. Nevertheless, The Canadian defender was transferred to Portland Timbers for $625,000, with the possibility of obtaining an additional 150 thousand dollars based on the achievement of sports objectives. With this determination, Inter sought to open a foreigner’s quota within the squad.
As for the defenders, two Argentines were in the spotlight in recent weeks. The first was Leandro González Pires, since River decided to buy his pass for an amount close to $300,000. The other was Marcos Rojobecause the Boca captain rejected an offer from Inter Miami to move to soccer in the United States.

The great incorporation of Inter has been Luis Suarez. Lucho arrives free, from the Porto Alegre Guild, where he had an extraordinary performance in 2023. Despite his 37 years, the Pistolero participated in 53 games, scoring 27 goals and providing 19 assists. His performance was crucial in achieving the Gaucho Championship and the Gaucho Cup Winners’ Cup, and he was recognized with the Brazilian Golden Ball.
However, the appellants problems in one of his knees could affect Lucho’s availability in the future. The arrival of the Pistolero to the DRV PNK Stadium is not only linked to what he can contribute in front of the rival goal, but also to the great harmony that could be generated with Messi, Sergio Busquets and Jordi Albawith whom he shared glorious years in Barcelona.
Meanwhile, on Tuesday, January 9, midfielder Julian Gressel (German nationalized American), 30 years old and who has just won the MLS Cup with the Columbus Crew. He signed through 2026, with the possibility of extending it for another year. He was already managed by Tata Martino at Atlanta United. He can also play as a central defender.
“I am excited to join an organization as ambitious as Inter Miami for this new chapter in my career. “I am ready to get to work and use my experience in this league to help my new teammates and this great club achieve their dream of winning more titles,” said Gressel, whoHe has played 228 games in the MLS, with 27 goals and 68 assists.. In addition, he played six games for the American team.

As for other possible additions, notable names have been mentioned. One of them is Luka Modric. Real Madrid’s number 10 is not a priority for Carlo Ancelotti and the Croatian would not take a dim view of a departure from the White House. His good relationship, both with Leo and Beckham, could help his arrival. Nevertheless, The latent possibility of Saudi Arabia threatens Inter’s aspirations.
Another that has been mentioned, but whose possibilities are reduced day by day are: Ivan Rakitic (“I don’t think about anything other than playing here, continuing here. There is no better place than Seville,” he argued), Sergi Roberto (“The rumors about Inter Miami or Palmeiras… All lies,” highlighted the Barcelona captain) and David De Gea (free from Manchester United since June, but with serious chances of going to the Saudi Pro League)
