Inter Miami have signed a new goalkeeper on a trial basis, but his long-term future with the club remains uncertain.

Messi faced plenty of backlash from those in Mexico after mocking their lack of World Cup success compared to Argentina's decorated history. Notably, former "El Tri" international Adolfo "Bofo" Bautista called out the Argentinian for a "lack of professionalism and education."

Inter Miami played Club America in their first preseason game of 2025 leaving it until late to score an equalizer resulting in a 2-2 draw.

The match against America is the first of five preseason dates for Inter Miami on its “Americas Tour”. The team will play games in Peru, Panama and Honduras over the next few weeks and end the tour in Tampa against Orlando City on Valentine’s Day.
