Market

Business is business: Sergio Reguilón goes

Middlesbrough paid $12.4M and Inter Miami CF took it, which is the whole story in one sentence. The longer version involves a wage budget and will be told all season.

Inter Miami CF turn down Lech for David Ayala

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

The terraces

A $12.4M sale, and a town that did not want it

Match

Inter Miami CF find a way past Atlanta United FC

Atlanta United FC made Inter Miami CF work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

In brief
