Another Argentine leaves Lionel Messi's Inter Miami but will remain in the MLS

Lionel Messi will return to action for Inter Miami on January 18th in a friendly against Club América, followed by his official MLS debut on January 22nd against New York City FC.

Inter Miami CF will lose another Argentine player as Franco Negri departs to join San Diego FC in Major League Soccer (MLS), ending his time as a teammate of Lionel Messi.

The move comes as Inter Miami manager Javier Mascherano reshapes his squad for the 2025 season, incorporating new players alongside Messi.
