Inter Miami continue to reshape their roster for the 2024 season. David Beckham’s team have already bolstered their attack with the signing of former Barcelona star Luis Suárez but are also looking to bring in Boca Juniors striker Dario Benedetto. Reports in Argentina now suggest they are planning on recruiting a top-level central defender and will use Lionel Messi as a type of “super agent” in an effort to convince his international teammate Marcos Rojo to move to MLS.

Martino, Messi and Rojo could repeat Argentina link-up

The Boca captain’s future is somewhat up in the air, even though he has already reported back for pre-season. Despite extending his contract until December 2025 a only a few months ago, Argentine journalist Hernán Castillo revealed there was serious interest in the former Manchester United man from Brazil and the United States, and that both Messi and Herons head coach Gerardo “Tata” Martino had called the 33-year-old over a potential move in the last few days.
