They want Messi to be happy, Inter Miami are after these three Argentine players

After an unforgettable 2023, in which they won the first title in their history, the Leagues Cup, Inter Miami are preparing for a 2024 that will be even more demanding. This time the stars of the team, such as Lionel Messi, Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets will be there from the beginning of the season and there will be no excuses, they will be obliged to lead the team and compete in all the tournaments they play.

The main objective will be the CONCACAF Champions League, the competition that brings together the best clubs in Central and North America, and which gives a place in the Club World Cup. But they will also try to win the Major League Soccer title and repeat their success in the Leagues Cup.

To achieve these goals, coach Gerardo Martino and the chiefs know that signings are necessary. That's why they agreed on the arrival of Luis Suarez, another former Barcelona star, as well as several young players from the Super Draft. But that is not enough. The manager believes that new faces are still needed in some key sectors of the field.

The midfield is one of them. There they have targeted two Argentine players who shone during the last season: Enzo Pérez and Cristian Medina. The former is 37 years old, played two World Cups alongside Lionel Messi with the Argentine National Team and will become a free agent as of January 1, so his signing should not be difficult to agree. Medina is 21 years old, is one of Boca Juniors' stars and several clubs are interested in signing him. Botafogo of Brazil are offering $8 million for him, but The Herons are willing to pay a similar amount.

They also need a defender

Boss Martino also wants to raise the level of the defense and that is why he targeted a player he knows from his time with the Argentina National Team: Marcos Rojo. The former Manchester United player is currently at Boca Juniors (as is Medina), but he may decide to accept Inter Miami's offer to reunite with Messi, with whom he played between 2011 and 2018.
