7 most expensive Inter Miami transfers - ranked | OneFootball

Inter Miami have become one of the top spending Major League Soccer clubs ever since their inaugural 2020 campaign.

While some of Messi's Barcelona pals joined as free agents, the Herons have splashed some serious cash on younger players in a bid to propel them to future titles.

Here are the seven most expensive Inter Miami transfers.
