After the defeat against Cincinnati in the MLS, Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami was left with no chance of qualifying for the playoffs of the United States league. In this way, once the Florida team finishes its participation in the season, it would be four months without officially playing. Therefore, work is already being done to prevent this from happening and Newell’s took advantage of the situation.

This Tuesday a rumor that had been born a few weeks ago was confirmed: Newell’s and Inter Miami will play a friendly match during the preseason.
Of course, the link is the presence of Messi and Gerardo Martino, who acted as managers so that it could be carried out. As it could not be otherwise, the fans were enthusiastic.
The stipulated date for the friendly is February 17 in Miami, as part of the preparation for the next season. At the same time, La Lepra made a request to the AFA not to play the League Cup during the time it takes to travel to the United States.

What will Inter Miami’s season be like?
In addition to the game against Newell’s, Inter Miami has other commitments to cover the lack of games until next season. Therefore, during October and November they will tour Japan and China.
Although the teams they will face are not defined, these matches will help to cope with the lack of competition for so long.
Another of the most interesting points is the possibility of Luis Suárez joining the team after leaving Gremio. The Uruguayan forward and the Brazilian club agreed that he will not continue in 2024 and rumors suggest that he will be a reinforcement for the Florida club.
