Inter Miami Sign German Berterame: Messi’s New Attacking Partner | MLS News
Inter Miami has officially added to its attacking firepower with the signing of Mexico international forward German Berterame as a Designated Player. The 27-year-old’s contract extends through the 2028-29 MLS season, with an option for the 2029-30 season, signaling a significant long-term investment by the club.
A Proven Goalscorer Joins the Herons
Berterame arrives in Miami with a strong track record, having scored more than 65 goals in 153 appearances for Monterrey. This prolific scoring ability is precisely what Inter Miami is looking for as they aim to build on last season’s success.
Strengthening an Already Formidable Attack
The new signing joins a potent attacking lineup already featuring Lionel Messi, Mateo Silvetti, Tadeo Allende, and Luis Suarez. This quartet previously propelled Inter Miami to their first MLS Cup title in club history. With Allende recently re-signed and reports indicating Messi is in excellent form, Berterame’s addition could create one of the league’s most dangerous forward lines.
Berterame is described as a technically gifted striker, consistently threatening opposing defenses with his positioning, movement, and ability to link up with teammates. Analysts expect he will particularly thrive playing alongside Messi.
Tactical Implications
Inter Miami demonstrated its effectiveness last season when Messi had fast, mobile wingers making runs in behind the defense. Berterame’s skillset appears to complement this tactical approach, providing Messi with another dynamic option in the attacking third.
The addition of Berterame provides Inter Miami with increased depth and versatility in attack. This could allow the team to rotate players more effectively and maintain a high level of performance throughout the long MLS season.
