Everybody wants to see Leo.

Inter Miami began preseason training last week in Fort Lauderdale with the objective of getting in top physical shape before beginning a tour of friendly matches that will take them first to El Salvador and then to various destinations in Asia, such as Saudi Arabia, Hong Kong and Japan.

In the meantime, the club's chiefs are working to bring in players to help raise the team's level. The first to join were Uruguayan striker Luis Suarez and German midfielder Julian Gressel, in addition to the youngsters selected in the SuperDraft: midfielders Pep Casas and Yannick Bright, and forwards Ryan Carmichael and Leo Afonso. Reports indicate that coach Gerardo Martino's intention is to bring in at least one more defender.

At the same time, the start of the 2024 season is getting closer and closer. Inter Miami will make their Major League Soccer debut on February 21, when they face Real Salt Lake at DRV PNK Stadium. And four days later they will have their first away game, against Los Angeles Galaxy at Dignity Health Sports Park.

This week the Californian side put tickets on sale for that match against the Herons and something unexpected happened: they sold out in just six minutes. While it is true that the capacity of the stadium is small (only about 27,000 seats), the enthusiasm of the fans to see Lionel Messi is surprising.

He wants to win everything

For Leo it will be the first opportunity to compete in MLS from the start. In the previous season he was barely able to play 6 games in the league, as he joined mid-year and then suffered a muscle injury that prevented him from playing several crucial matches. With him, Inter Miami hope to win the title for the first time.
