Inter Miami aren’t going to wait until the end of the season to make plans for the future, and despite the MLS Eastern Conference finals just around the corner, the club is already considering possible additions for the 2026 season, having already considered the attacker who won the Champions League with Chelsea in 2021.
According to information from German media “BILD”, as the Florida team looks to surround Lionel Messi with talent and strengthen the attacking line, RB Leipzig striker Timo Werner has attracted the attention of Inter Miami, and the team may undergo significant changes.

Furthermore, the German striker has been going through a difficult period with the club, with his contract expiring in 2026, and he has already shown dissatisfaction with his role, having lost his prominence in the team and playing few minutes, raising the possibility of him leaving.
Is there a possibility that Timo Werner will sign with MLS side Inter Miami?
It won’t be easy for Miami to acquire Timo Werner, especially considering the German soccer player’s estimated annual salary of $11.6 million. This number would necessitate his status as a designated player in MLS. At the moment, the Herons do not have any vacant spots, but that will change in 2024, with two spots available, as Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets have announced that they will retire at the end of the season.
According to reports close to the Florida team, one of the designated player slots will be taken by Rodrigo de Paul as long as he goes on a permanent loan, while the other will be vacant and could be filled by Timo Werner if negotiations progress.
Additionally, there could be significant absences from the attacking line, including Luis Suarez, who remains with the team. Alen Obando is also likely to leave the club, and with Taddeo Allende still unresolved, Inter Miami are likely already considering a move for the German striker.
Timo Werner is tempted by MLS and Inter Miami
In Germany, Timo Werner is said to be particularly attracted to the MLS project as it would be a fresh start for the German who lacked playing time at Leipzig. Additionally, there is also the interest of playing alongside Lionel Messi, which always provides an additional incentive for players to join the American League.
Moreover, Werner’s interest in MLS is nothing new, with New York Red Bulls attempting to sign him in the summer, but the player himself rejected the offer, and there is renewed interest in coming to the United States with an evolving team that is attractive to players who played in Europe.
Inter Miami are currently considering signing the German for one of the most important games in their history, as they aim to make their first MLS Cup appearance.
