Buenos Aires, January 2 (NA) – Inter Miami has entered the negotiations for Matko Miljevic and positioned itself as a key player in an operation that Racing has kept open with Huracán. The Florida club is closely monitoring the offensive midfielder and has already made formal inquiries, in a context in which the "Academy" has yet to finalize the agreement with the Parque Patricios team. Beyond Racing concentrating part of its efforts on the possible arrival of Valentín Carboni on loan, the name of Miljevic remains on the agenda, according to what the Argentine News Agency was able to find out. The appearance of Inter Miami introduces a new scenario and adds direct competition for one of the most outstanding footballers of the last year in Argentine football. According to information disseminated by César Luis Merlo, the US franchise is evaluating his incorporation into a squad that has already confirmed the continuity of Luis Suárez, executed the purchase option for Rodrigo De Paul, and incorporated Spanish left-back Sergio Reguilón. Despite those moves, the club still has one available franchise player slot, a condition under which it could advance for the 24-year-old midfielder. From the player's circle, the Inter Miami alternative appears as a concrete possibility. Miljevic was born in Florida, has past experience in MLS after his time in Montreal, and represents the United States national team internationally. A potential move to the Florida team would allow him to remain within the orbit of Mauricio Pochettino, the current coach of the US national team, on the path to the 2026 World Cup. As for Racing, the management presented an offer of $2.8 million for 80% of his card, a proposal that was rejected by Huracán as insufficient. However, from the selling club, they left open the possibility of negotiating the loan of a percentage of the pass, which keeps the operation under evaluation. The interest of Huracán in Martín Barrios also appeared as a variable to consider, although so far no significant progress has been made.
