Take a look at Inter Miami’s most expensive transfer signings of all time, brought to you by Inter Miami News.
David Beckham and the Inter Miami owners have not been afraid to splash the cash since the club’s inception in 2018.
Soccer greats like Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, and Sergio Busquets are now regular fixtures at the Chase Stadium – helping transform the Herons into an MLS juggernaut.
Despite their iconic status though, all those players arrived on free transfers – begging the question as to who is Inter Miami’s most expensive signing of all time…
10 – Emerson Rodriguez ($2.5m)
Signed in 2022, from Columbian side Millonarios – Emerson Rodriguez’s time in Vice City hasn’t gone as he would have hoped.
Having only managed 25 appearances for the Herons, the majority of the Columbian’s career has been spent out on loan – most recently at Vasco de Gama in Brazil.
9 – Diego Gomez ($2.7m)
One of the biggest success stories on this list, Diego Gomez’s 2023 transfer from Club Libertad turned out to be hugely successful for both player and club.
The Paraguayan was instrumental in Inter Miami’s Supporters’ Shield triumph earning a move to Premier League Brighton & Hove Albion in the process.
8 – Leonardo Campana ($2.7m)
First arriving at the Chase Stadium in 2022 initially on loan, Leo Campana soon became a fan favorite amongst the Miami faithful.
The forward would score some crucial goals for the Herons over a three-season spell, eventually leaving Vice City in 2025 to join the New England Revolution.
7 – Gregore ($3.6m)
Signed at the start of the 2021 season, Gregore would make an instant impact in Vice City – being named as Inter Miami’s MVP in his first campaign at the club.
After three successful seasons at Miami, the midfielder would return to his homeland of Brazil in a transfer to Botafogo.
6 – Facundo Farias ($5m)
Facundo Farias’ 2023 arrival was met with much optimism, the midfielder however has struggled to live up to the hype.
The Argentinian has only managed 11 first-team appearances for Miami so far, with an ACL injury ruling him out of the 2024 season.
5 – Julian Carranza ($5.5m)
Joining from Argentine side Club Atletico Banfield, Julian Carranza’s career in Miami never really got going.
The attacker only managed 42 appearances for the Herons, spending most of his time away from the club on loan.
4 – Tomas Aviles ($6.3m)
One of the latest signings on this list, Tomas Aviles has impressed since his arrival from Racing Club.
The Argentine international was a mainstay in the Inter Miami backline during the 2024 season, managing 37 appearances in total as the Herons were crowned Supporters’ Shield winners.
3 – Federico Redondo ($7.5m)
Inter Miami surprised many when they secured the signing of highly rated midfielder Federico Redondo in 2024.
Initially struggling with injury, the Argentine international has since thrived at the Chase Stadium and is now expected to become a key player for Miami moving forward.
2- Matias Pellegrini ($8.2m)
The 2019 signing of Matias Pellegrini is definitely one the Inter Miami owners will want to forget.
Failing to impress in any of his 20 appearances for the club, the winger would be sent on loan to his former club Estudiantes – eventually departing Miami permanently in 2022.
1 – Rodolfo Pizarro ($10.9m)
Inter Miami’s record signing of all-time is Mexican international Rodolfo Pizarro.
Joining from Monterrey, the attacking midfielder would fail to live up to his price tag during his three years contracted to the club.
After two pretty uneventful seasons, Pizarro would be loaned back to Mexico in 2022, with Inter Miami eventually agreeing to mutually terminate his contract in July 2023.
