One of Inter Miami's current players has addressed speculation he could be moved on to make way for Lionel Messi this summer and has taken aim at MLS.
Attacking midfielder Rodolfo Pizarro is currently registered as a Designated Player (DP) by the Herons, meaning he is permitted to earn more than the US league's salary cap. The South Beach outfit finds itself in a tricky situation in this regard, however, with only three DP players allowed on each team's roster and a host of high-profile stars set to arrive at the club imminently.
With superstar Messi and fellow former Barcelona star Sergio Busquets joining the club this summer and expected to become DPs, this essentially means that two of the franchise's current DPs will either have to be moved on or shifted onto regular contracts. Furthermore, given that co-owner Jorge Mas has teased that further reinforcements may arrive in the coming weeks, it is clear that this is a situation which will need to be rectified.
