The forward, born in Argentina but naturalized Mexican, arrives in the North American league from Monterrey, where he was one of the team’s standouts.

His contract is valid until the 2028-29 MLS season, with an option to renew for the 2029-30 season.

Berterame, 27 years old and a player for the Mexican national team, joins Lionel Messi and Rodrigo De Paul to complete the list of three designated players allowed by the league.

In the United States, designated players—the main stars of the team—have salaries that exceed the limit set by the league.

“He is a great player and we aim to have a strong squad,” said Inter Miami owner Jorge Mas to AFP, when asked about this latest signing for his team.

“Our goal is to give Masche [Javier Mascherano, the coach] the tools to attack in the way he envisions, with a strong lineup. This is the kind of quality and player who deserves to be part of Inter Miami,” he added.

Since arriving at Monterrey in 2022, Berterame, who hopes to play in the 2026 World Cup for Mexico, has played 132 matches and scored 55 goals.

His signing strengthens Inter Miami’s attacking sector, which also features veteran Uruguayan striker Luis Suárez, in a year when the Florida club has ambitious goals after winning its first league title in 2025.

The club’s management has set the Concacaf Champions League as the main goal for the 2026 season.

Inter Miami arrives in Medellín this Friday to face Atlético Nacional on Saturday, in their second preseason match.
