Inter Miami are set for a winter overhaul, as The Herons are making big moves in the transfer market. Following the departures of key players like Leonardo Campana and Diego Gomez, the club has reportedly targeted Fafa Picault to bolster their attack alongside Lionel Messi.

According to MLS insider Tom Bogert, citing sources, the free agent has signed a contract with Miami for the next season. The 33-year-old is reportedly joining The Herons, having also considered a move to Austin, but ultimately choosing Miami due to family considerations.

Last season, Picault scored nine goals and provided five assists in 1,675 mins for Vancouver. But overall, he has 220 MLS appearances, and he’s registered 56 goals and 26 assists.

While Miami has yet to confirm the signing, Picault is the latest player linked to the club. Reports also suggest Mascherano and his staff are exploring defensive options in Argentina, with Lanus goalkeeper Nahuel Losada a potential target.

Despite the attacking contributions of Messi and Luis Suarez last season, the club is also actively pursuing younger talent. Per some reports, Miami has their sights on potential talents, also from Argentina.

Miami’s targets during the transfer market

Given his experience with the Argentine youth national teams, it’s unsurprising that Mascherano is focusing on recruiting players from his homeland. Per reports, he has his sights on two wingers: Tadeo Allende and Alexis Cuello.

Mateo Moretto from Relevo reported that Miami are close to finalizing a deal to sign Allende, a 25-year-old winger currently playing for Celta Vigo. On the other hand, Uriel Lugt also reported that Miami started negotiations with Cuello, who currently plays for San Lorenzo in the Argentine Primera Division.

With Gomez and Campana out of the roster, Miami needs to strengthen their attack, especially considering that last season Messi missed almost half of the season due to injuries and international commitments.

According to recent reports, Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami is set to sign veteran Vancouver winger for the upcoming season. The player in question, who has not been named yet, is said to bring a wealth of experience and skill to the team.

This signing comes as Inter Miami looks to strengthen their squad and make a push for the playoffs in the upcoming season. The addition of a seasoned winger will undoubtedly add depth and quality to the team’s attacking options.

Fans of Inter Miami are sure to be excited by this news, as they eagerly anticipate the start of the new season. With Messi leading the way and a new signing on the horizon, the team looks set to make a strong impact in the league.

Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting development as more details are revealed about the veteran winger set to join Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami.

The Toronto Raptors will take on the Boston Celtics in their final game of 2024.

The Raptors are hoping 2025 will bring them more fortune, especially when it comes to injuries.

Toronto has another key player on its injury report ahead of their game against the Celtics. RJ Barrett will miss Toronto’s matchup against the Celtics with an illness. Barrett left the arena immediately after the game Sunday, missed practice today and will not travel to Boston with team for the game on Tuesday afternoon, per Sportsnet’s Michael Grange.

Barrett did play against the Atlanta Hawks on Sunday night and seemed to be fine as he put up 17 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists. With Barrett out, the Raptors will likely turn to Bruce Brown in the starting lineup. Brown made his season debut against the Hawks and looked good putting up 12 points in 19 minutes from off the bench.

Raptors lead guard Immanuel Quickley (elbow) is out as well for the Raptors, per Sportsnet’s Blake Murphy. There was no further update provided on Quickley and there is still no timetable for his return. Quickley has only play in three games for the Raptors this season.

Gradey Dick has also popped up on the injury report with hamstring tightness, per Murphy. Davion Mitchell (illness) and Bruno Fernando (toe) are also questionable. If Dick is out, the Raptors will likely start Ja’Kobe Walter in place of him.

Raptors head coach Darko Rajakovic said Scottie Barnes has been playing through ankle soreness, but he’s beginning to feel better. Since returning from injury, Barnes has been back to his normal workload.

The Raptors who have allowed a franchise-record 430 points in their last three games will be in tough when they take on a Celtics team that ranks No. 3 in offensive rating.
