American club Inter Miami is close to signing striker Luis Suarez to a one-year deal. Sources say that while negotiations are progressing, nothing has been officially finalized regarding the specific role Suarez will play with the team. The league is expected to discuss potential roster changes this winter, adding another layer of complexity to the situation.

Inter Miami, along with all other Major League Soccer (MLS) teams, will have until the player allocation deadline to finalize their rosters. That deadline falls on the Friday evening before MLS weekend play begins, giving clubs a limited window to make critical decisions on rosters and player assignments.

In MLS, teams are allowed to have three Designated Players, which allows them to sign athletes whose salaries can exceed the team's salary cap. Currently, Inter Miami's Designated Players include Lionel Messi, Sergio Busquets, and Gregore, all of whom finished the previous season in Designated Player roles. This setup means that if Inter Miami intends to sign Suárez, they will have to make adjustments regarding Gregore's status within the team.

The complexity of this situation highlights the strategic planning required by MLS teams, especially when signing high-profile players like Suarez. The league's rules regarding designated players are designed to maintain competitive balance, but they also present challenges for clubs looking to enrich their rosters with top talent.

À l’approche de la date limite, l’Inter Miami travaillera avec diligence pour se familiariser avec ces réglementations et finaliser ses plans. La perspective de voir Suárez s’associer à Messi et Busquets est certainement séduisante pour les fans, et elle pourrait avoir un impact significatif sur les performances de l’équipe lors de la saison à venir.
