Federico Redondo is set to wear Inter Miami’s colors as the club announces the transfer of the midfielder from Argentinos Juniors. The arrangement places Redondo under contract until 2027, with an option to extend by an additional year. The Argentine talent first stepped onto the professional stage in 2022, making his debut in the top flight and quickly establishing himself as a reliable holding midfielder. Across his early career in Argentina, Redondo accumulated 58 league appearances, contributing two goals and two assists while developing a reputation for steady ball control and positional sense.
Redondo is part of football royalty in Argentina, being the son of former Real Madrid and national team standout Fernando Redondo. The familial connection underscores a lineage of midfield intelligence and competitive mindset that Redondo brings to Inter Miami as he matures in a growing MLS environment.
Meanwhile, Lionel Messi’s move to Inter Miami in the summer of 2023 marked a watershed moment for the club and for Major League Soccer. After joining from Paris Saint-Germain, Messi celebrated a landmark victory by capturing the League Cup on August 20, the franchise’s first major trophy in the Americas. In his first 14 appearances for Inter Miami, Messi tallied 11 goals and 5 assists, reinforcing his impact as a marquee figure in North American soccer. The league currently enjoys a seasonal pause as teams prepare for the upcoming campaign, with anticipation building around how the club and its new and existing stars will perform when play resumes.
In terms of global popularity, Lionel Messi stands as a more prominent figure in the United States than Cristiano Ronaldo, a distinction reflected in media coverage and fan interest across MLS markets and beyond. The dynamic between these two icons continues to shape conversations about the league’s growth, marketing, and on-field strategies as Inter Miami builds around its high-profile roster and emerging homegrown talents like Redondo.
