Inter Miami signs Riquelme from Palmeiras through 2030

Key Points:

• Inter Miami has signed Riquelme Fillipi from Palmeiras, securing him through the 2029-30 MLS season with an option for 2030-31, and he will occupy an under-22 Initiative slot once his International Transfer Certificate and P-1 Visa are obtained.
• Riquelme, who made 80 appearances and scored 30 goals with Palmeiras' U20 team, also played 11 matches for their first team across multiple competitions before joining Inter Miami as their first signing under new head coach Cristian 'Kily' González.
• Defender Noah Allen is expected to transfer from Inter Miami to Chicago Fire, with the clubs in advanced negotiations and a deal likely before the MLS secondary transfer window closes; Allen was absent from training amid the pending move.
