Vicente Barberini: A bold move for Inter Miami or a smart investment?

The arrival of Lionel Messi changed the MLS forever, but that isn't news. With him, teams around the league search for the next Argentine gem. A recent example is the New England Evolution with the signing of Luca Langoni from Boca Juniors.

Inter Miami invested in young players like Tomas Aviles or Marcelo Weigandt. With the results given by both players, the Herons are ready to sign their next gem. This young talent is a striker from the third Argentinian league. His name is Vicente Barberini from Santamarina de Tandil.

If both teams agree on the transfer, Barberini will join Inter Miami in December. From the Argentinian player's view, this is the best deal of his life. However, from the Heron point of view, this signing is a massive risk. With his experience in the third league, he may find it challenging to adjust to the level of play in the MLS.

At the moment, Vicente Barbierini played 13 games this season, scoring only two goals and zero assists. His team is in second place and has chances to become champions with only three games left.

Is this a good investment from Inter Miami?

The Herons should not consider signing this player. Inter Miami already has too many forwards to bring another one this season. However, it could be Luis Suarez's last year with the team, meaning a spot will be empty. Inter Miami should use this opening to bring in a striker with a higher level of skill than Vicente Barberini, ideally someone with experience playing in a top league.
