Tata Martino recently addressed the rumors surrounding Angel Di Maria potentially joining Inter Miami this summer, which have been circulating due to ongoing discussions about Benfica. Having earned seven league titles with Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid, the 36-year-old Di Maria is regarded as one of the most successful players in the last 15 years. He also secured a 2022 FIFA World Cup victory with Argentina alongside Lionel Messi. As a UEFA Champions League winner, Di Maria is set to depart from Benfica at the end of the current season following a stellar performance in Portugal. Among the clubs rumored to be interested in signing the Argentine star, Inter Miami has emerged as a potential destination.
Martino has shared his thoughts on the possibility of the Herons bringing in Di Maria. Speaking to Marca, the Inter Miami manager made it clear that the club is not in a position to sign Di Maria. According to Martino, Inter Miami lacks the necessary resources to secure the services of the attacking midfielder. He acknowledged the challenges of convincing a player like Di Maria to join a team like Inter Miami, especially with other clubs showing interest in the 36-year-old. With all three Designated Player spots already filled, it would be tough to make a convincing offer to Di Maria. When asked about the potential signing of Di Maria, Martino echoed the doubts and simply stated that he doesn’t see a feasible way for Inter Miami to bring him on board. With two months left until the transfer window reopens, Martino doesn’t have much more to add on the matter.
Inter Miami should approach their summer transfers with caution despite the buzz around potential signings like Di Maria. While the team’s popularity is on the rise, it is important for the Herons to make wise decisions when it comes to new recruits. There are ongoing talks about Sergio Ramos possibly making a move to MLS and Florida, highlighting the team’s need for reinforcement in defense. Adding another big name player to their lineup could greatly benefit Inter Miami in this area of the pitch.
While Di Maira may be impressive, Inter Miami must be strategic in their signings this summer. At 36 years old, the forward may not be the ideal fit for the team’s current needs.
