Inter Miami may reportedly be able to sign center-back Gonzalo Lujan as a free agent to add quality to Lionel Messi's supporting cast this month. The Herons are undergoing a bit of a rebuild as they look to build on their Supporters' Shield triumph from the 2024 season.
Javier Mascherano has just over a month before he takes charge of his first MLS game as Inter Miami head coach, and he has his targets in sight to strengthen their roster. Argentina U-23 international Lujan is one, as the San Lorenzo star has been mentioned as a target to replace Nicolas Freire, who moved to Independiente in the off-season.
A report from DiarioOle has revealed that Mascherano may be able to get his hands on his target as a free agent due to a dispute between Lujan and San Lorenzo. The 23-year-old is reportedly owed around $200,000 by his club, and an agreement is in place between both parties to terminate his contract if he is not paid by January 6. If the dispute remains unresolved, Inter Miami will be able to add another Argentine to their squad that has Lionel Messi, Federico Redondo, and Tomas Aviles as a free agent.
