Inter Miami ‘to sign’ Facundo Mura on free to bolster right flank | OneFootball

Inter Miami host New York City at Chase Stadium in the Eastern Conference final and MLS Cup semi-finals after a 4-0 win over FC Cincinnati, when Lionel Messi delivered a hat-trick of assists. The Herons are now two matches from a key season target.

With contracts up for review in January, departures and renewals are being weighed. According to interheron.com, the club are tracking Racing Club right-back Facundo Mura as they shape plans for the window.

The report adds that Inter Miami are ‘to sign’ the 26-year-old, who is set to leave Racing on a free at year end. His arrival would put him in direct competition with Ian Fray on the right.

Mura is viewed as strong defensively, reading through balls and regaining possession by anticipating play. He closes the far post well, and his pace covers wide areas that Fray and Marcelo Weigandt have struggled to manage.

He also has international experience, with Racing reaching the Copa Libertadores semi-finals against Flamengo this year. That background points to familiarity with intense, physical matches.

If completed, the deal would come with Mura out of contract at year end. His stamina supports repeated runs, he times when to advance, and he recovers quickly, addressing a recurring weakness on Miami’s right. It also leaves a question over whether Weigandt continues next season.
