The transfer window is still a month away, but early indications suggest that Inter Miami is gearing up for an active January market. This week, Javier Mascherano was introduced as the new manager, taking on a significant challenge in his first coaching role for a club where fans expect results next season.
Current transfer rumors indicate that the Florida franchise plans to make substantial signings, with Mascherano aiming to bring in Ángel Di María, and the club also showing interest in Liverpool superstar Mohamed Salah.
Additionally, former Premier League player Manuel Lanzini has come onto Inter Miami’s radar. According to Pasio Futbol, the club is monitoring the River Plate attacking midfielder, who is expected to leave the Argentine side at the end of the month.
Lanzini, a former international teammate of Lionel Messi, built a strong reputation during his seven years at West Ham, where he became a cult hero. Now back at his boyhood club River Plate, he could soon make the move to MLS with Inter Miami, as Mascherano looks to rebuild the team.
With Lanzini set to become a free agent shortly, Inter Miami might have the opportunity to sign a notable player at a good value. The prospect of reuniting with Messi in Florida could be an enticing factor for the former Premier League star.
