aAfter the retirement of Jordi Alba, Inter Miami selected another full-back with La Liga experience, albeit in former Real Madrid player Sergio Reguilon.
The 29-year-old Spaniard was used to playing against Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez, but as Reguilon recently admitted in an interview, they are now teammates and their relationship is completely different.

The Spanish full-back admitted that he has a good relationship with his new team-mates and that the reaction was better than he expected:
We got a much better reaction than we expected and everything that happens on the field stays on the field. The reception was amazing, even in a dream
Sergio Reguilon will replace Jordi Alba
As for the expectation of occupying the space left by Jordi Alba, Reguilon declared it impossible to replace “the best full-back in Spain’s history”. However, Reguilon arrived at the right time, physically fit and with renewed energy to prove why he was chosen for such an ambitious project as Inter Miami.

In addition to Reguilon, the Herons added defenders Facundo Moura and Mikael to the team, strengthening the team’s weakest areas in defense. In addition, last season’s MLS Goalkeeper of the Year, Dane St. Clair, will also wear pink this season.
As for the midfield position, there was a possibility that Miami could sign Argentine Giovani Lo Celso to cover the absence of Sergio Busquets, but negotiations seem to have failed. That’s why they signed a promising young midfielder, David Ayala, but are still awaiting the arrival of a top-class midfielder to balance out their midfield.
In terms of strengthening their offensive line, Miami is strongly considering signing Argentine-Mexican striker German Bertelame, who currently plays for Rayados de Monterrey in Liga MX. Coach Jorge Mas has confirmed that there has already been an approach with the Monterrey board and even a formal offer, which could be finalized within the next few hours.
