Overview
- The Athletic reports Inter Miami are finalizing a permanent agreement with Celta Vigo for winger Tadeo Allende that would not use a Designated Player slot.
- Allende set the MLS single-postseason goals record in 2025, scored in the MLS Cup final, and finished with 24 goals across all competitions.
- Brazil’s UOL and GE Globo report Miami are close to a one-year loan for Palmeiras defender Micael with a $6 million purchase option, with Palmeiras approving the structure.
- Celta Vigo previously paid €4.5 million for Allende and reportedly rejected a River Plate offer of about €2.5 million as they targeted a fee closer to €6 million.
- Following the retirements of Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba, one Designated Player slot is expected to go to Rodrigo De Paul, keeping room for another high-end signing.
