Miami is buzzing with excitement as Inter Miami creates a super team to accompany Messi

(By Juan Maqueda, from Miami) Inter Miami has announced two new signings that, although unlikely to be familiar to Lionel Messi, are significant additions to the star-studded Inter team in the Sunshine City, which is currently celebrating #Messimania or #Messiami. In this report, we'll tell you about all the new acquisitions. Speculations are swirling that Messi could be reunited with his fellow countryman Gerardo Martino, who previously worked with Messi at Barcelona (2013/2014) and the Argentine national team (2014-2016).

In their ongoing anticipation of Lionel Messi's arrival, Miami is strengthening their squad to welcome the captain of the Argentine national team. Just days ago, they announced the signing of one of his close friends from his time at Barcelona, Sergio Busquets.

The goal of Inter Miami to recruit standout talents, including Messi, is not only a strategy for the club but also an opportunity to promote the growth of soccer in the United States. With the FIFA World Cup 2026 and the Copa America 2024 scheduled to be held in the country, Messi's addition to the Miami team adds excitement and anticipation to the football landscape.

  • As Inter Miami continues to make waves in the football world, fans eagerly await Messi's arrival and the potential star-studded team that will surround him. The recent signings may be unfamiliar to Messi, but they represent the club's commitment to building a competitive and diverse squad.

In the coming months, all eyes will be on Inter Miami as they prepare for a new era with Messi leading the way. The team's growth, both on and off the field, is poised to have a significant impact on Miami's football scene and beyond.

During Tuesday's match, in which the team drew 2-2 against Columbus Crew, Inter Miami also introduced two other signings. However, these are relatively unknown players to La Pulga (Messi)... and to the majority of football fans.

"We have signed short-term loan agreements with Tyler Hall and Lawson Sunderland from Inter Miami CF II, making both players available for tonight's match against Columbus," the club announced on their social media regarding the two players from their affiliate team.

Both players will be part of Gerardo Martino's team until the end of the year, although the coach may decide to send them back to the affiliate team at any time, as stated by the club.

Tyler Hall, a 17-year-old defender, is considered one of the franchise's top prospects and has been a regular call-up for the United States youth national teams. Sunderland, a 21-year-old midfielder, has been making a name for himself at Inter Miami II and has earned a promotion to the first team as recognition for his performances.

  • As Miami eagerly awaits the revolution Messi will bring, Inter Miami is experiencing unprecedented growth, despite his absence. The city is thrilled with the team's significant moves, which could attract other players.

It's clear that Inter Miami is determined to create a star-studded team around Messi, including several of his close friends and former Barcelona teammates, such as Sergio Busquets, Jordi Alba, Luis Suárez, and possibly Cesc Fàbregas. These players would not only add talent to the team but also ensure Messi feels at home in his new environment.

While Messi's arrival has already had a major impact in the market, it also serves as a promotional tool for the FIFA World Cup 2026, which will be held in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Additionally, the Copa America 2024 will also take place in the United States. Miami is the perfect location for Messi and his family, as they already have a home there, facilitating their adaptation to the new environment.

  • As Messi returns from his Asian tour with the Argentine national team and enjoys his vacation, he has teammates eagerly awaiting his arrival and ready to support him in his first matches with Inter Miami.

In the current season, Inter Miami has experimented with various formations, primarily under the guidance of former coach Phil Neville. The most successful formation has been a 4-2-3-1, with Drake Callender in goal, DeAndre Yedlin as the right-back, Sergey Kristov and Kamal Miller as center-backs, and Franco Negri as the left-back. In midfield, Dixo Arroyo and Jean Mota or David Ruiz have formed a double pivot, with Corentin Jean, Benjamin Cremaschi, and Nicolás Stefanelli playing further forward. Leonardo Campana has also featured in the attack. In this lineup, Messi would likely replace Corentin Jean.

Inter Miami currently sits at the bottom of Group A in the MLS. After 16 matches, they have lost 11 games and won 5, without registering any draws. In their most recent match, they suffered a 2-1 defeat at home against DC United.

 

Inter Miami's pursuit of top talent, including Messi, is not only a strategic move for the club but also an opportunity to promote the growth of soccer in the United States. With the 2026 FIFA World Cup and the 2024 Copa America set to take place in the country, the addition of Messi to the Miami team adds excitement and anticipation to the soccer landscape.

  • As Inter Miami continues to make waves in the soccer world, fans eagerly await Messi's arrival and the potential star-studded team that will surround him. The team's recent signings may be unfamiliar to Messi, but they represent the club's commitment to building a competitive and diverse roster.

In the coming months, all eyes will be on Inter Miami as they prepare for a new era with Messi at the helm. The team's growth, both on and off the field, is poised to make a significant impact on the soccer scene in Miami and beyond.

  • As Inter Miami creates a buzz in the soccer world, the excitement extends beyond Miami and reaches a global audience. The prospect of witnessing Messi's skills on the field and the potential success of Inter Miami has captured the attention of soccer fans around the world.

Miami's vibrant and diverse community, combined with the city's reputation as a hub for international culture and entertainment, adds another layer of allure to Inter Miami's journey with Messi. The fusion of soccer passion and the Miami lifestyle creates a unique atmosphere that transcends traditional soccer fandom.

The impact of Messi's arrival goes beyond the soccer pitch. It has the potential to reshape the soccer landscape in the United States, inspiring a new generation of soccer players and fans. With the 2026 World Cup and the 2024 Copa America on the horizon, the anticipation and momentum surrounding Inter Miami and Messi continue to build.

Inter Miami's commitment to assembling a superstar team around Messi demonstrates their ambition to compete at the highest level. The presence of Messi alongside renowned players like Sergio Busquets, Jordi Alba, Luis Suárez, and potentially Cesc Fàbregas creates a star-studded lineup that promises thrilling matches and unforgettable moments.

  • As Inter Miami's journey with Messi unfolds, it becomes clear that their pursuit of excellence extends beyond the confines of the soccer field. They are creating a legacy, shaping the future of soccer in Miami, and leaving a lasting impact on the global soccer stage.

For soccer enthusiasts and fans in Miami and beyond, the arrival of Messi represents a new era of excitement, passion, and boundless possibilities. It's a time to celebrate, unite, and embrace the magic that unfolds when talent, ambition, and a city come together to create something extraordinary.
