Inter Miami’s 2025 transfer plans are already in full swing ahead of the new MLS season.

Javier Mascherano recently secured his first signing as Herons boss following the free-agent arrival of Fafa Picault from Vancouver Whitecaps.

Inter Miami are also closing in on Tadeo Allende, who is rumored to be joining on loan from La Liga side Celta Vigo.

David Beckham and co however are not stopping there, with the Herons said to be targeting multiple players from Argentinian side San Lorenzo – with Ivan Leguizamon attracting interest from Inter Miami.

With Leguizamon relatively unknown outside of South America, Inter Miami News thought it would be worthwhile taking a closer look at the Vice City target.
