Badmus Abdulsobur
Inter Miami have signed Argentine striker Gonzalo Higuain on a free transfer after he left Italian champions Juventus where his contract was terminated on mutual consent.
The Major League Soccer (MLS) club announced the 32 year old will join the MLS side owned by David Beckham as a designated player,
joining compatriot Matias Pellegrini and Mexican midfielder Rodolfo Pizarro as the team's highest-paid squad members.
Nicknamed 'the Beckham Rule', the designated player option allows MLS teams to sign up to three players outside their salary cap.
"First of all, I want to thank Inter Miami for the effort it has made to sign me. I think it will be a beautiful experience in my life," Higuain said in a statement.
"It's what I was looking for - a new experience, a new league and a beautiful city.
"I'm really happy to be here and that it's official. My goal is to try to transmit all the experience I acquired in Europe and to help the team grow."
