Inter Miami has acquired an additional international roster slot from the San Jose Earthquakes in exchange for $150,000 in General Allocation Money (GAM) on Sunday. MLS allows teams to allocate a certain number of international roster slots, which can be traded with other clubs for cash. The Herons are looking to bring in the ex-Barcelona and Liverpool striker Luis Suarez into the team using this slot. They have already signed Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba for the season. The 36-year-old Uruguayan forward could be the newest addition to David Beckham’s side.
