<p>Inter Miami have traded backup striker Leo Campana to the New England Revolution, <a href="https://www.revolutionsoccer.net/news/new-england-revolution-acquire-forward-leonardo-campana-from-inter-miami-cf" target="_blank" rel="sponsored">the clubs announced Thursday</a>, acquiring an MLS domestic trade fee record of $2.5 million in General Allocation Money.</p><p>The fee will be split between 2025 and 2026, with the club receiving $2 million in 2025 and $500,000 in 2026. Miami also acquires a 2025 international roster slot and a 2026 international roster slot. Inter Miami will retain a sell-on percentage of any future sale of the forward and could receive up to $750,000 in GAM should Campana meet certain performance-based incentives.</p><p>The move is set to increase roster flexibility as it looks to retool following a first round MLS Cup Playoff exit last season.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>The Ecuadorian striker has been at Miami since the start of the 2023 season. In three full campaigns, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/leonardo-campana-inter-miami-d-c-united-sluggish-luis-suarez/blt4893a0dbaa6c2d84" target="_blank">he scored 31 goals in 100 appearances</a> in all competitions. He should be in the mix for a starting spot for the Revolution, who scored the fewest goals in MLS last season. </p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>New England Revolution Sporting Director Curt Onalfo spoke about the signing <a href="https://www.revolutionsoccer.net/news/new-england-revolution-acquire-forward-leonardo-campana-from-inter-miami-cf" target="_blank" rel="sponsored">in a statement</a>: “Leo Campana is a proven goal scorer whose arrival strengthens a crucial position of need for our team as we work to improve our offensive production this season. Leo is a forward we have had our eyes on for quite some time, so we are thrilled to have him in our club. We are pleased to have another important piece of the puzzle in place before preseason begins.”</p>

WHAT CURT ONALFO SAID

<p>The South Florida club now have increased financial flexibility to restructure their roster ahead of the 2025 season. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-us/lists/inter-miami-explain-how-neymar-reunion-lionel-messi-could-happen-brazilian-superstar-mls-reform-msn-united-states/bltd5bdc81df7152f81" target="_blank">Co-Owner Jorge Mas</a> promised last month that the Herons would be aggressive in the market in order to make an MLS Cup run next season.</p>
