Inter Miami battling on two fronts
It appears that the Herons decided to move quickly. MLS teams are eligible to make new signings until the transfer deadline on 23 April. There is some urgency as the team is already full immersed in competition, with both the domestic league and the CONCACAF Champions Cup fully underway.
