Inter Miami’s recent 5-1 victory over the Columbus Crew showcased their attacking prowess, with Lionel Messi scoring twice. The Herons boast a star-studded lineup featuring Jordi Alba, Luis Suárez, and Sergio Busquets. Despite their talent, the team has struggled to find consistency, sitting third in the Eastern Conference with 29 points from 16 matches.
Looking to bolster their squad, Inter Miami, under Javier Mascherano’s guidance, has set their sights on Liga MX star Brian Rodríguez. The 25-year-old Uruguayan winger, currently playing for Club América, has impressed with 10 goals and nine assists in 34 appearances this season. Rodríguez has expressed keen interest in joining Messi and his fellow superstars in Miami.
“Inter Miami’s interest is real. We’ve been talking about it for a couple of weeks. I spoke with Luis Suárez about the club, and it was an honor to talk to him,” Rodríguez said. While a potential move to Spain is on the table, the opportunity to play alongside Messi and Suárez is highly tempting. “There is a possibility of going to Spain, I prefer to go to Spain, but on the other side is going to play with Suárez and Messi, that weighs on me,” he added. Rodríguez plans to consult with Uruguay manager Marcelo Bielsa, with whom he previously discussed a potential transfer to Fiorentina.
Rodríguez is no stranger to Major League Soccer, having played for LAFC, where he made 65 appearances, scoring nine goals and providing 14 assists. His experience and versatility make him a valuable target for Inter Miami. As transfer talks progress, Rodríguez’s future promises to be one to watch.
