Marcelo Weigandt is reportedly never expected to play for Boca Juniors again after rumors that Inter Miami are in talks to sign the defender.
Reports broke in recent days that the Herons had approached the Argentine giants over signing the 24-year-old right-back, who is already due to leave Boca Juniors at the end of this season.
With Weigandt’s father since launching an attack aimed at Boca Juniors over the club’s demands to allow the fullback to leave, the situation is starting to turn ugly for the Argentine.
Marcelo Weigandt not expected to play for Boca Juniors again
And according to PlanetaBoca, Weigandt is now not expected to ever play for the South American titans again, with Inter Miami working on reaching an agreement with Boca Juniors.
Having traded DeAndre Yedlin to FC Cincinnati earlier this week, Inter Miami have no natural right-back in the current squad, though the likes of Julian Gressel can fill in if needed.
Which is why this move for Weigandt is so exciting for the Herons, with the defender a former Argentine youth international and a talent who could thrive in MLS with Inter Miami.
However, with Weigandt’s situation at Boca Juniors turning ugly, the Florida franchise need to step up their pursuit for the defender if they’re to rescue him from Argentina.

And after this latest update, Inter Miami have to ensure they’re now doing all they can to reach an agreement with Boca Juniors and to sign Weigandt.
The defender would be an ideal fit for the Herons heading into the new season, and after this latest update, Inter Miami have to think they must go above and beyond to sign Weigandt.
