Inter Miami have made their first two additions to play alongside Lionel Messi for the 2025 MLS season following the completion of the MLS SuperDraft. The Herons selected midfielder Bailey Sparks and forward Michael Appiah in the draft to join up Javier Mascherano's squad.
Mascherano's side have been active with outgoings, losing CJ dos Santos to San Diego FC in the Expansion Draft and trading Leonardo Campana and Diego Gomez. They have been linked with several players as they prepare to defend their Supporters' Shield title, but their first additions have been made via the draft.
Midfielder Bailey Sparks was selected from Southern Methodist University, where he represented the SMU Mustangs, as the 52nd pick in the draft. The 21-year-old midfielder made 21 appearances in the 2024 season, scoring nine goals and providing 10 assists for his side. He earned First Team All-ACC honours and was ranked as the number 12 player in the country by Top Drawer Soccer.
