Javier Mascherano, head coach of Inter Miami, has responded to growing rumors linking the club with Brian Rodríguez and Rodrigo De Paul, saying that no transfers are underway and that discussions, if any, are at a very early stage.
Speaking to local media, Mascherano made it clear that nothing is confirmed on either front.
“There’s no official news about Brian. He’s a talented player, yes — but no agreements. And about Rodrigo, it’s just talk. We’re being cautious.”
🎯 Club’s Focus: Patience Over Pressure
After signing some of football’s biggest names last year, Inter Miami continues to attract speculation. But Mascherano emphasized that the team is not chasing names just for headlines. The club is being selective and measured in its approach.
“We’ve built something strong here. Any new addition has to match our long-term direction — not just the moment.”
🇺🇾 Rodríguez Situation
The Uruguayan winger currently plays for Club América in Mexico. While he has been mentioned in connection with a potential MLS move, Mascherano clarified that the club hasn’t made an offer or entered formal talks.
🇦🇷 De Paul: Just Noise?
Rumors about Rodrigo De Paul joining Messi and company in Miami have gained traction. However, Mascherano says it’s all speculation, adding that no official conversation has taken place between the clubs.
“Rodrigo is world-class. If anything happens, it’ll be done properly. For now, it’s all noise.”
🧠 What This Means
Mascherano’s comments suggest that Inter Miami isn’t in a rush. They’re watching the market — but won’t act unless the move fits both financially and tactically.
For now, the message from the coach is clear: the team is focused on what they already have — not what’s trending in the headlines.
