Inter Miami CF, the MLS club owned by David Beckham and featuring Lionel Messi, has continued to bolster its squad with the addition of young Argentine defender Gonzalo Luján. The move comes as the club looks to build a competitive team capable of challenging for major honors in both domestic and international competitions.

The Argentine defender, produced in the ranks of San Lorenzo, has joined at only 23 years old on a contract through 2027 with an option for 2028. He represents a clear investment in youth and versatility, qualities the head coach knows well and can fully utilize.

Inter Miami signed defender Gonzalo Lujan to a contract on Thursday that spans through the 2027 season with an option for 2028. Financial terms were not disclosed by the Herons for Lujan, who previously played for Argentine top-flight side San Lorenzo.
