Inter Miami eyes former Real Madrid wonderkid as Jordi Alba’s possible successor | OneFootball

Inter Miami must continue on their victory path. The Herons beat the New England Revolution on Saturday night, after the disappointing loss against the Chicago Fire.

Nevertheless, Javier Mascherano must erase the victory from his mind and prepare for the Atlanta United game next Saturday. Once again, this will be a great encounter to measure Inter Miami’s level when they face a tough opponent.

Recent results indicate that Inter Miami’s defense could face significant challenges. However, if Jefecito reverts to the ideal 4-4-2 formation, utilizing Alba on the wing and Allen as left back, the Herons may be able to regain their attacking momentum and find the net early.

Nevertheless, David Beckham and the Mas brothers are looking into the club's future. With Jordi Alba nearing the same path as Sergio Busquets, Inter Miami is seeking to sign a European footballer as a free agent next year.

Sergio Reguilon could become a Heron next year

Fabrizio Romano confirms that Inter Miami could bring a new European superstar. The former Real Madrid wonderkid, Sergio Reguilon, is interested in joining the Herons in July of 2026.

According to the mentioned journalist, the Spanish left-back is expected to accept Miami’s offer as he thinks it is the best option among the multiple offers on the table.

One thing is clear. Jordi Alba could end his contract with the Herons before 2027, the year when his contract is finished. With this possible retirement scenario, David Beckham and the Mas brothers are already considering reinforcing the left side of the defense, and who better than a footballer currently playing in the Premier League.

It is true that Reguilon never truly settled in the top-level football, but I believe this move could be beneficial for Inter Miami.

In recent matches, Jordi Alba has shown clear signs of fatigue due to the number of games he has played in such a short period. Now, Javier Mascherano needs to find a solution and look for a proper substitute for the former FC Barcelona player.

The Jefecito doesn’t have a natural left-back, as he has shown in previous games; Noah Allen tends to play more as a left center-back rather than a fullback.

For this reason, Reguilon could provide Alba with some much-needed rest, as Father Time is starting to catch up with him. In addition, the former Manchester United player would bring a sense of freshness and dynamism to the squad.

Let’s remember that Reguilón is only 28 years old, meaning he’s in the prime of his career.
