Inter Miami will soon begin preparing for the 2025 MLS season after its shocking Round One exit in the MLS Cup playoffs.
Miami's record-setting season was led by stars Lionel Messi and Luis Suárez as the team clinched its second trophy in club history with the Supporters' Shield. Miami isn't short of talented attackers and quality midfielders but the south Florida club could look to make some moves on the defensive end of the pitch.
Throughout the regular season, Miami's defensive issues were masked by the 40 combined league goals between Messi and Suárez. Tomás Avilés is talented, young defender but he can't do it all by himself in defense when opponents spring forward on the counter to post questions of Miami's high line.
In order to enjoy an excellent regular season in 2025, Miami must look to bring in reinforcements in defense.
Here are five players the Herons should target in order to reach their MLS Cup goals in 2025.
