Starting in 2026, he will be eligible for one of the Designated Player (DP) slots, meaning salary cap exemption, which will be vacated by the retirements of Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets. Both have decided to retire.<\/p>\n<p>The Argentinian midfielder joined Inter Miami after the Club World Cup and won the MLS Cup with 2 goals and 7 assists in 20 appearances.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, Luis Sures&#8217; future remains uncertain, as there are rumors that he will be joining other clubs. We will have to wait and see whether the Uruguayan striker stays to continue playing alongside Messi or embarks on a new adventure elsewhere.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.marca.com\/en\/football\/mls\/2025\/12\/12\/693ba44f22601d825c8b45b3.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FInter Miami, who won the MLS Cup for the first time in club history, have exercised the $15 million buyout clause of Argentina&#8217;s World Cup-winning midfielder Rodrigo de Paul.
