The announcement of the Luis Suarez transfer has shown the ambition of Inter Miami before the start of next season starts. But, the MLS side is not done with star signings.

He has played with Lionel Messi for Argentina’s national team in the 2014 and 2018 World Cups. At the age of 37, he has played 42 games in all competitions this season.
