Inter Miami faced a tough loss against Atlanta United in the league match with a 5-2 drubbing by their rivals. With Lionel Messi not playing the game, the team lost quality upfront and lost the game. Leonardo Campana scored two goals for the team, but they couldn’t control the soccer game. Thus, they are looking to sign a new striker who looks to lead the line for the team. However, it comes at the expense of Josef Martinez, who might need to leave the club.
The striker would need to take a significant pay cut to sign a contract extension with Campana’s contract already done and dusted. Thus, enter Radamel Falcao, who can potentially sign for the club, according to RCN News. David Beckham looks to bolster his squad!

The striker enjoyed productive spells with Atletico Madrid and Monaco and scored many goals for the teams. In his career, he scored 303 goals and became a prolific striker. His movement off the ball and aerial prowess matched his finishing capabilities on the ball. Despite having a terrible spell with Chelsea and Manchester United, he remains a solid acquisition for Inter Miami, hoping to strike a deal with Rayo Vallecano, his current club.

The center forward comes to improve the Inter Miami frontline and can be a great mentor for 23-year-old Campana. With the drop in quality of Inter Miami coinciding with Messi’s absence, Falcao can turn into a reliable player for the club and provide goals in the Argentinean’s absence. Nevertheless, it paves the way for another striker at the club who may need to depart. With Campana signing a deal until 2027, the future hangs in balance for the Venezuelan striker.
According to Inter Miami insider Franco Panizo, Martinez could see his contract cut down with reduced wages if he is to sign again. Right now, he wants to sign an extension with the club and, hopefully, looks to stay at the club.

Forming a solid partnership with Messi!
With potentially needing to lower his wages for a contract extension, losing Martinez would be a bitter blow. Of all the players in the squad, Martinez remains one of the best players in the club. He developed a solid understanding along with Messi, as they link up well in matches. He scored ten goals for Inter Miami, and the striker holds up the ball well.
Therefore, it is a race against time for Martinez to sign a contract with Inter Miami. Falcao could be an alternative upgrade, but having Martinez on the team can be crucial.
