Diego Gómez, 20, arrives from Libertad de Paraguay to become Leo’s new teammate as part of the MLS Under 22 initiative.
He Inter Miami wants to surround in the best way Lionel Messi. After confirming the arrivals of Sergio Busquets y Jordi Alba, David Beckham’s club continues to announce its new faces in this transfer market. This time it is about Diego Gomez, a 20-year-old midfielder from Libertad of Paraguay, who will sign until 2026 with the option to extend the contract for another year. His arrival is due in part to the Under 22 initiative promoted by Major League Soccer.
After debuting in mid-2022, Gómez has 51 games played in his entire career, with six goals and four assists, which allowed him to become one of the most outstanding players of Guarani and Libertad football. Precisely, he was one of the key pieces in his team’s last two conquests of the local championship. Even his performance already earned him to be summoned by Guillermo Barros Schelotto to the National Team, with which he already has four games played.
The midfielder will have his first international experience, driven by the initiative promoted by MLS with promising players. This project aims to promote the development of young people, so each team will have three places in their squad to fill them with soccer players under the age of 22, with Gómez who will take the place of one of these with his arrival at Inter Miami.
“It is something inexplicable for me and the whole family. It’s a dream come true to play with Messi and Busquets. It is something very beautiful for me, a new challenge to continue growing personally and sportingly. I am very happy,” said the Paraguayan before taking the flight that would take him to the US coastal city.
And once he had his first training, his happiness was on the rise. “I have no words, I get goosebumps. I used to see them on TV (Messi and Busquets) and now I have them next to me“Confessed the flyer, with an unmatched smile.

Likewise, Gómez is not the only youth who will seek to demonstrate his full potential on a field and who will be Messi’s teammate, but rather Facundo Farias, the striker from Colón de Santa Fe would also be one step away from emigrating to North America. “It is already a reinforcement. There is an agreement,” confirmed Jorge Mas, one of the owners of the new club to which Leo belongs.
And added to these new faces with which Inter Miami will seek to reverse its football present and surround the world champion from Rosario in the best way, the franchise also dreams of incorporating the Uruguayan Luis Suarez, one of Messi’s best partners throughout his career. However, his departure from the Guild of Brazil does not seem to be easy.
