News - Inter Miami Secure Future with Rios Novo Signing

In a strategic move, Inter Miami solidified their goalkeeping lineup by signing the MLS Cup-winning goalkeeper Rocco Rios Novo to a long-term deal effective until the 2028-29 season, with an additional option for 2029-30. Novo showcased his skills prominently last season after taking over the primary goalkeeping duties, playing a pivotal role in the team's path to victory in the championship final against the Vancouver Whitecaps, which concluded with a 3-1 triumph. The Argentine goalkeeper, previously under contract with Lanus, joined Inter Miami on loan before sealing a permanent transfer. His impressive performances included five clean sheets across 19 appearances, proving his indispensable role in the team's success on the field. Rios Novo, a promising 23-year-old talent, is now set to be a cornerstone of Inter Miami's defense as they prepare to defend their title. The team is set to kick off their 2026 MLS season with an away match against Los Angeles FC on February 21 at the historic Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. This signing marks a significant investment in the club's future ambitions, ensuring stability and expertise in the crucial goalkeeping position.
