Inter Miami have one of the best squads MLS has ever seen, yet the Florida franchise are more than just Lionel Messi and company.
Tata Martino has relied heavily on a number of young players to get the Herons across the finish line this season, with David Beckham a huge fan of Benjamin Cremaschi, who came through Inter Miami’s academy before becoming a regular in the starting XI.
With Diego Gomez set to join Brighton & Hove Albion in 2025, Inter Miami’s player development program is leading to top prospects winning huge moves, with a number of other players likely to make the switch to Europe in the next 12 months.
Yet one of South America’s biggest clubs in River Plate are now interested in an Inter Miami youngster.

Federico Redondo emerging as a top target for River Plate
According to River Noticias, the Argentine giants are interested in Inter Miami’s Federico Redondo, who as per the report is viewed as a priority target for River Plate as a successor to Matias Kranevitter in 2025.
Redondo was once hailed by Kieran Gibbs as a ‘remarkable’ player with the Argentina youth international likened to Sergio Busquets, with the 21-year-old a regular in the Inter Miami midfield when fully fit and available.
Despite this, the youngster’s future in Florida isn’t completely secure, with River Plate linked with Redondo earlier this year with the midfielder struggling at times this year for fitness and consistent form.
With River Plate as big as they are, a move back to Argentina could be appealing for Redondo, especially if Inter Miami feel they can get a good fee for the 21-year-old talent, who has not lived up to expectations since arriving.

Redondo has a big decision to make this January
Redondo arrived on Florida soil earlier this year with a huge reputation from Argentina, with the midfielder viewed by many as someone who could go on to play for a huge European team within the next year or two.
| Federico Redondo’s 2024 Inter Miami stats | Games played | Goals | Assists |
| MLS/MLS play-offs | 17 | 2 | 2 |
| Leagues Cup | 4 | 0 | 0 |
| Total | 21 | 2 | 2 |
Yet as per Redondo’s key stats this season, the River Plate target has failed to hit the heights many expected to hit at Inter Miami and in MLS, with injuries a key reason behind these disappointing numbers.
And if an offer from River Plate was to come in the January window, Redondo has a big decision to make on his future, with the midfielder facing a big dilemma regarding his career and his future.
