Why hasn't Inter Miami signed a star?

Inter Miami might be in trouble. They still haven't signed a superstar meant to be the face of the franchise for this new team entering their first official season. Rumors have been circulating for months about what stars David Beckham could buy as the next big signing for the team and for the expanding league as a whole.

As of now, heading into Week 3 of the MLS season, it seems as if there will be no mega superstar that will lead the team in their inaugural season. It feels disappointing, after there were promises of star power and hopes of competing for a championship in their first season. However, as it was discussed in an earlier post, winning a championship in an inaugural season is pretty difficult to accomplish.



For now, Inter Miami fans will have to wait patiently. Unfortunately, there won't be a star player leading Miami's inaugural season like Kaka did in Orlando or David Villa did in NYCFC. Fans will have to wait and hope for Beckham to keep his promises.

Inter Miami won the game 1-0, thanks to a goal by rookie forward Robbie Robinson in the 31st minute. This was Inter Miami's first win in franchise history, and gave them a solid form heading into the first week o...

What are Inter Miami's expectations this season?

Unfortunately, the team is created and put together over the course of a few weeks and are left with little over a month to prepare for the upcoming season. As a result, it would be difficult to expect them to start running straight out of the gate. It will take a lot of time and patience for them to adjust and get comfortable with one another. Team chemistry is built throughout the season and it takes many ups and downs to really grow as a team. Despite recent success by former expansion teams like LAFC and Atlanta United, most expansion teams struggle to get their feet wet. Realistically, Inter Miami will not compete for the MLS Cup this season, or possibly the next one either. One can hope, however, that within the next 3-5 years, they’ll ...
