Inter Miami is already thinking about 2026 and wants to give Messi a Champions League winner as a reinforcement

Inter Miami does not want to wait until the end of the season to plan its future and despite being about to play the MLS Eastern Conference Final , the club is already evaluating names to strengthen for the 2026 season where it is looking at an attacker who was already champion of the Champions League in 2021 with Chelsea.

According to information from the German media outlet BILD , Timo Werner , striker for RB Leipzig , is on Inter Miami's radar as the Florida team seeks to surround Lionel Messi with talent and strengthen the offense, which could undergo significant changes

In addition, the German striker is going through a difficult time with his club, his contract expires in 2026 and he has lost prominence in the team, having few minutes played so he has already shown to be dissatisfied with his role which opens the possibility that he may leave.

Is Timo Werner a possible signing for Inter Miami in MLS?

Miami's move for Timo Werner would not be straightforward, especially given the German footballer's salary, which is estimated at 11.6 million a year , a figure that would force him to occupy a place as a Designated Player in MLS . At the moment, the Herons do not have any available slots, but in 2024 things will change, as Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets have announced that they will retire at the end of the season, opening up two places.

According to reports close to the Florida team, one of these Designated Player slots will be for Rodrigo De Paul, as long as his loan becomes permanent, and one would be vacant so Timo Werner could occupy it if negotiations progress.

In addition, the team may have significant absences in attack, such as Luis Suarez , who is not known if he will continue with the team. The departure of Allen Obando also looks likely and the case of Tadeo Allende has not yet been resolved, so Inter Miami would already be considering the arrival of the German striker.

Timo Werner is tempted by MLS and Inter Miami

In Germany, it is claimed that Timo Werner is particularly tempted by the MLS project, which would be a new beginning for the German after a lack of minutes at Leipzig. In addition, there is the interest of playing alongside Lionel Messi, which always adds an extra incentive for players to join the American league.

In addition, the interest in MLS is not new for Werner, during the summer the New York Red Bulls tried to sign him, but it was the player himself who rejected the offer and again he is being of interest to come to the United States with a team that is evolving and being attractive to players who have played in Europe.

For now, Inter Miami is considering the German's addition as it prepares to play one of the most important matches in its history, where it is looking to reach the MLS Cup for the first time
