No question! With the arrival of world champion Blaise Matuidi (33) and Argentine runner-up world champion Gonzalo Higuaín (33), Inter Miami has sharpened its profile from David Beckham (45).
The two transfers from Juventus Turin raise the quality in the squad of the MLS club. Two years ago David Beckham’s football franchise started in Miami without a big name.
Now there is trouble about the transfer from Matuidi to Beckham’s club. Major League Soccer (MLS) is investigating Matuidi’s transfer. He may have violated the requirements.
Blaise Matuidi, French 2918 world champion and ex-teammate of David Beckham PSG, joined Inter Miami on August 13, 2020. His contract runs until December 31, 2021.
However, his transfer to Inter Miami is now being investigated. The change is said to have violated the salary statutes of the North American football elite league. The MLS is investigating whether the Beckham club, which also wants to lure Lionel Messi or Robert Lewandowski to Florida in the medium term, paid Matuidi incorrectly. Matuidi was not nominated as a “target player” by Inter Miami. The MLS gives every club the opportunity to spend $ 2.8 million on these stars. This is to prevent a salary explosion like the one in the 1970s. At that time, old stars like Franz Anton Beckenbauer, George Best or Johan Cruyff cashed in again in America. The MLS prescribes a strict austerity course for the clubs. Salary costs for the 20-man squad must not exceed $ 4.8 million.
“Major League Soccer has started a formal review of midfielder Blaise Matuidi ‘s transfer to Inter Miami.” So it says in a message from the league.
Inter Miami has already responded. “We will fully support Major League Soccer in this investigation.” The Beckham Club announced. Matuidi only scored one goal out of 15 MLS games in their first year in Miami.
