Javier Mascherano is wasting no time in molding his Inter Miami squad for the 2025 season.
The Herons have already signed Fafa Picault, with San Lorenzo’s Gonzalo Lujan also soon tipped to join Inter Miami.
Mascherano’s transfer ambitions are not stopping there though as he looks to fill the void left by Diego Gomez’s transfer to Brighton.

Relatively unknown outside of South America, Inter Miami News thought it would be worthwhile taking a closer look at the soon-to-be Miami man.
