Fans turned out in their droves to watch Lionel Messi’s official unveiling as an Inter Miami player
. They had braved heavy rain and thunder to catch a glimpse of the Argentine superstar wearing Inter’s distinctive pink kit for the first time. But as they did so, spare a thought for Rodolfo Pizarro. A Mexican international, Pizarro joined Inter in 2020 ahead of its inaugural Major League Soccer season. He scored the team’s first-ever goal later that year, going onto make 58 appearances for the club, scoring seven goals and providing 13 assists across his Inter career.
Which means Inter, according to the club’s website, has four designated players on its roster – Messi, Busquets, as well as Josef Martínez and Gregore. Either Inter can look to move one of their designated players on or they can “buy down” a player’s contract. The club can spend a portion of their allocated money to reduce one of their player’s contracts, which means they will no longer be deemed a designated player.
