Inter Miami are reportedly pushing hard to sign Tomas Aviles, with Tata Martino playing a role behind the potential transfer.
According to the Athletic, the Florida-based franchise are keen to add young players to the squad having spent big this summer on Lionel Messi, Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba, with Aviles now on the radar.
The Racing Club wonderkid was part of Argentina’s recent squad for the U-20 FIFA World Cup, and there’s now a chance that the defender could make the move to MLS with Inter Miami.
Messi’s new side are no strangers to conceding goals with Inter Miami having one of the worst defensive records in the league this season, yet signing Aviles could majorly improve the backline.
One of the most exciting defensive prospects in all of South America, Aviles would be a unique signing for Inter Miami yet a welcome one having gone big this summer on superstar names based in Europe.
However, given Aviles’ age and his experience, the 19-year-old could be an exceptional signing for Inter Miami, with Martino clearly a fan of the defender.
Aviles could add a lot of quality to Inter Miami’s backline
Having added to the attack and midfield, it’s clear that defense is the next area of work that Inter Miami have to focus on, and targeting a U-22 player in Aviles could be a smart move from the Herons.
As we know, Aviles is already causing waves in Argentina and is well on his way to joining Messi with the senior team, and a move to Inter Miami could be an ideal next step.
MLS has created a great reputation for itself in recent years as an ideal stepping stone for South American talents, and Aviles could be the next to make such a move, with the prospect of playing with Messi a tantalizing one.
