It’s almost to the finish line, but according to a report, Inter Miami’s Paraguayan international Diego Gómez is leaving the club. Gómez is coming off a fantastic run in the Summer Olympics, having scored 1 goal and assisted on two in 4 games for Paraguay.
At Inter Miami, Gómez found his footing after a poor start to his MLS career in 2023. From the beginning of 2024, when he helped Paraguay qualify for the Olympics, his output and general performances at the MLS level improved greatly.
Diego Gómez has 5 goals and 4 assists in 28 games for Inter Miami, and this season, in 12 matches, he has 3 goals and 3 assists. According to César Luis Merlo, Gómez is off to Premier League side Brighton.
