New signing for Lionel Messi's Inter Miami accidentally revealed as MLS confirm Leagues Cup squad ahead of title defence

Major League Soccer released the squad lists ahead of the upcoming return of the Leagues Cup and River Plate centre-back David Martinez was included alongside the rest of the Inter Miami names. The 26-year-old will link up with Lionel Messi in Florida as they look to go back-to-back in the competition.

Although the signing may have leaked, Miami fans will be happy to be bringing in a quality defender in Martinez. The 11-cap Paraguay international is a two-time league champion with River Plate and will sure up the defence alongside the likes of Jordi Alba in the near future.

Although he represents Paraguay at international level, Martinez was born in Buenos Aires in Argentina. It will certainly be a talking point for him when he eventually meets up with Messi, who is fresh off winning the Copa America for a second time.

Inter Miami are still yet to announce Martinez as an official signing but reporters are expecting one very soon. They take on Puebla at home in the Leagues Cup opener this weekend.
