"Inter Miami CF announced the signing of Mexico national team forward Germán Berterame from Liga MX powerhouse Monterrey. Berterame joins Lionel Messi and the reigning MLS Cup champions as a Designated Player on a contract running through 2029, with a club option for an additional year. Miami secured the deal by triggering Berterame's $15 million release clause, sources told ESPN's Lizzy Becherano."
"The Argentine-born forward, who became a naturalized Mexican in 2024, started his career in the Argentine Primera División featuring for San Lorenzo and Patronato before making his Liga MX debut with Atletico San Luis in 2019. While playing for Atletico San Luis, the forward scored 31 goals in 93 games in all competitions and earned the Golden Boot for the 2021 Apertura tournament."
"His efforts in Liga MX earned him recognition from the Mexican national team after he became eligible to feature for El Tricolor. Although Berterame previously featured for the Argentina youth national team, his lack of appearances with the senior squad allowed the forward to represent Mexico without filing a one-time switch with FIFA. Berterame scored the winning goal for Mexico last Sunday in a World Cup warm-up friendly against Bolivia."
