After the celebrations for winning the MLS Cup and the end-of-year celebrations, Inter Miami is back to work. One of the tasks to be accomplished at the beginning of 2026 is the operation of additions and departures from the team for next season.
With a successful campaign for Lionel Messi and his teammates that culminated in the title, the board is focusing on negotiations to keep key players who were part of the championship-winning team and who are fundamental to the Argentine’s play. Among these players is Tadeo Allende.
Recently, the Argentine’s name was the subject of a wave of rumors that placed him at River Plate for the next tournament. There was talk that he was on the ‘Millo’s’ list of candidates to reinforce the forward line. The rumor faded away as the days went by, so this possibility was ruled out.
This rumor arose after it became known that Allende’s loan from Celta de Vigo had ended, which opens the door for negotiations. In this sense, after the faded rumor of River Plate’s supposed interest, Inter Miami wants to retain him and will put its offer on the table
Based on information from The Athletic, the Herons will extend him a good contract without a designated player clause, meaning he will not be a member of the roster classified as a star and will not be able to earn a salary higher than that set by the MLS salary cap.
Allende’s numbers in 2025
Inter Miami’s intention to retain him is supported by the statistics he recorded last year. Of the 38 games played in the pink shirt, Tadeo scored 20 goals. This translates into the fact that he is one of the great finishers that Messi has when he provides assists. In the end, he scored 24 goals in 54 games.
In the Concacaf Champions Cup, he played seven games and scored twice. His weight on the pitch is reflected in his scoring. He is a striker who scores and has a high percentage of putting the ball in the back of the net.
