Who else are Inter Miami close to signing this January?
With Allende now through the door, the Chase Stadium side are looking good for attacking options with Inter Miami also signing Fafa Picault earlier in the window following the departures of Leonardo Campana and Matias Rojas.
And current rumors suggest that the Herons are far from done with their January business, with Inter Miami reaching an agreement to sign Gonzalo Lujan from San Lorenzo in a deal worth $800,000 for the Argentina youth international.
With Inter Miami also interested in signing Nahuel Ferraresi as part of their defensive rebuild, the backline appears to be where Mascherano and his team will focus their attentions on next, with center-backs and depth needed for the new season.
