Inter Miami is already planning for the upcoming transfer window, as the current MLS regular-season champion has struggled to maintain strong performances in the playoffs. The club is looking to improve the squad despite having Lionel Messi as its leader.

If Inter Miami want to avoid a repeat of their early 2024 MLS Cup playoffs exit, the Herons need to strengthen their squad ahead of the 2025 MLS season.

Inter Miami signed free agent Fafa Picault through the 2025 season, with a club option for 2026. He has 57 goals and 30 assists in his eight-year MLS career, starring on the wing for Vancouver Whitecaps, Nashville SC, Houston Dynamo, FC Dallas and Philadelphia Union.

Lionel Messi's match schedule for 2025 includes Inter Miami games for the MLS season, Club World Cup and more. He'll also play with Argentina.
