The 2023 Leagues Cup winners, who boast big ambition for the 2024 MLS campaign, have already <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/watch-out-mls-luis-suarez-explains-how-long-take-click-best-player-world-lionel-messi-reuniting-barcelona-inter-miami/blta37215830e4c0d9e" target="_blank">added veteran former Liverpool and Barcelona striker Luis Suarez to their ranks</a> during the off season. While the Uruguayan frontman brings extra goal threat, Tata Martino is also in the market for more creativity.

WHAT HAPPENED?

That search has led David Beckham and the Inter Miami board in the direction of Gressel, who severed ties with the Columbus Crew at the end of the 2023 campaign. The German-born United States international – who has six senior caps to his name – has agreed a two-year contract in Florida, and it set to bolster their defensive and offensive ranks with his versatility on the pitch.<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">Welcome home, <a href="https://twitter.com/JulianGressel?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@JulianGressel</a> 💗🖤 <a href="https://t.co/wyLEfuG6sb">pic.twitter.com/wyLEfuG6sb</a>— Inter Miami CF (@InterMiamiCF) <a href="https://twitter.com/InterMiamiCF/status/1744771885949218834?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 9, 2024</a></blockquote>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Gressel began his career as a winger, but has turned into a natural wingback over the past few seasons. Wherever he is asked to perform for Inter Miami, he will bring welcome experience and trophy-winning pedigree to the Herons’ squad.

DID YOU KNOW?

Gressel is a two-time MLS Cup winner – having landed that prize with Atlanta United and Columbus Crew. He <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/atlanta-uniteds-julian-gressel-wins-mls-rookie-of-the-year/ainkt02uxief1g2nomz7z1g8m" target="_blank">worked with Martino in Georgia</a> and has also spent time with D.C. United and the Vancouver Whitecaps. The 30-year-old will link up with Inter Miami ahead of pre-season friendly dates against the likes of Vissel Kobe, Newell’s Old Boys and <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/last-dance-date-set-lionel-messi-vs-cristiano-ronaldo-inter-miami-al-nassr-al-hilal-pre-season-tournament-saudi-arabia/blt166812e32836604c" target="_blank">Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr</a>.
