Lujan is the third Argentine player to sign with Inter Miami in the past 48 hours. On Wednesday, the club re-signed goalkeeper Óscar Ustari to a one-year contract through the 2025 season. The 38-year-old, a friend and former Olympic teammate of Lionel Messi’s, spent the last few months of the 2024 season with Inter Miami.

Inter Miami signed defender Gonzalo Lujan to a contract on Thursday that spans through the 2027 season with an option for 2028.

Javier Mascherano’s first game as Inter Miami’s new coach is this weekend. His first night at his new home remains unscheduled.

Meanwhile, forward Fafa Picault, one of the new players in Inter Miami camp, is feeling at home. The 33-year-old Haitian American spent his teen years in Cutler Bay, where his family still lives. He attended Miami Killian High School and played for local youth clubs and the Fort Lauderdale Strikers before heading overseas.
