TNT Sports Argentina reports that the Herons' superstar transfer for the Argentine youth international has fallen through. Redondo was set to sign for $8m (£6m) from Argentinos Juniors, but now, it appears that the move is off.<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">Caído el pase de Federico Redondo al Inter Miami por la metodología de pago ❌ Regulaciones de la MLS no le permite girar la totalidad el dinero en los plazos que quería Argentinos y la representación del futbolista. ℹ️ <a href="https://twitter.com/malesolari?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@malesolari</a> <a href="https://t.co/xANo9B61ED">pic.twitter.com/xANo9B61ED</a>— TNT Sports Argentina (@TNTSportsAR) <a href="https://twitter.com/TNTSportsAR/status/1758483907811422236?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 16, 2024</a></blockquote>

WHAT HAPPENED?

Redondo is the son of Real Madrid great Fernando, who is widely considered one of the greatest defensive midfielders ever. For Miami, he would have filled a crucial and gaping hole in their midfield, especially with an aging Sergio Busquets already on the sideline due to injury. The Herons had initially <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-us/lists/federico-redondo-sergio-busquets-inter-miami-lionel-messi/blt9e9fe13e0dfa9457" target="_blank">beat the likes of Bayern Munich, Man Utd and Los Blancos</a> to the signing of Redondo.Now, by missing out on the Argentine midfielder, not only have Inter Miami missed out on a key signing but they have also left a hole in their midfield to start the season.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Redondo is a regular for the Argentine U-23 side alongside MLS star Thiago Almada, with both set to feature in this summer's Paris Olympic Games.

DID YOU KNOW?

The Herons will now look to see if they can - somehow - salvage a deal for Redondo. However, their priority now has to be Wednesday's MLS season opener against Real Salt Lake.
