At Inter Miami they drink mate much more frequently. Since the arrival of Lionel Messi to the American team, “Las Garzas” have acquired many Argentine soccer players. Currently there are up to twelve “Gauchos” footballers within the club led by Guillermo Hoyos, another Argentine.
In a club in which the Americans took a backseat, Inter Miami is full of Argentine soccer players. For the 2026 Main League Soccer season, “Las Garzas” have a very solid group of players born in Argentina.
Inter Miami has Rocco Ríos Novo in goal. In defense there are two Argentine players: the full-back Facundo Mora and the center Gonzalo Luján. In the midfield they are Rodrigo de Paul and David Ayala. The attack includes Germán Berterame, Tadeo Allende, Mateo Silvetti and Lionel Messi.
David Beckham’s set also includes Tomás “Toto” Avilésfootballer on loan to CF Montréal, Benjamin Cremaschi, loaned to Parma and Santiago Morales. These last two have Argentine passports, but have represented the United States.
The “Inter of the Argentines” has a market value that is around $ninety nine.3 million dollars. Lionel Messi and Rodrigo de Paul are the highest valued footballers on the squad (both are valued at $17.7 million dollars).
The Messi effect
Lionel Messi signed with Inter Miami in July 2023. The Argentine footballer left Paris Saint-Germain to live his adventure in Main League Soccer. Messi’s arrival at the club increased the number of Argentines in the team.
Before Lionel Messi signed with David Beckham’s team, Inter Miami only had two Argentine footballers on its roster. “Las Garzas” only had Franco Negri and Nicolás Stefanelli. Benjamín Cremaschi also appeared in the lower categories. This panorama has changed radically.
