aAfter tasting the sweet taste of glory for the first time with a historic MLS title, Inter Miami are already thinking about future success and know that in order to achieve that they must make up for the absences left by the departures of Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba.
The left-back position will be filled by Sergio Reguilon, while another Argentine is likely to strengthen the Herons’ midfield.

Inter Miami interested in Giovani Lo Celso
Inter Miami’s project clearly aligns with the idea of surrounding Messi with players who already have good chemistry on and off the pitch. In Busquets’ absence, the priority is to find a proven and guaranteed midfielder, and Giovani Lo Celso fits this profile perfectly. Although he is a player with more attacking characteristics compared to the Spanish “5”, in the Albiceleste team he is used to playing further back, giving up the “10” position to Leo, along with De Paul, and this is exactly the same scenario that we see in Miami, which is why he seems to be the ideal option for Javier Mascherano.
Lo Celso currently plays for Real Betis and has a contract until 2028. However, according to information from El Coleo de Andalucía, Inter Miami’s interest is specific and addresses a clear need to add top-class players in order to retain the MLS title and compete strongly in the Conca Champions.
Where will Lo Celso play next season?
The Argentine midfielder has made a remarkable breakthrough since returning to Betis in 2024, scoring eight goals in just three months between La Liga and European competition. But 2025 didn’t get off to a very strong start. Muscle problems limited his staying power and reduced his presence in the starting eleven.
However, when he was available, he scored a decisive goal at a crucial moment, which fits what Inter Miami are looking for: a player who can make a difference in close games.
Lo Celso is an important player for Betis, but from the Spanish club’s perspective, a sale for more than €5 million would free up salary space and facilitate the arrival of attacking reinforcements. From a player perspective, MLS appears to be an attractive option, especially considering the 2026 World Cup.
Continuing to play in North America, surrounded by national team-mates, including Messi, and at a high salary are scenarios that the player will look closely at before making a formal offer.
The Herons want to get ahead of the game and make another strategic blow to stay at the top as one of the most attractive projects on the continent.
