Inter Miami got a bit of good news on Monday to go along with their Supporters Shield title race: USMNT midfielder Benjamin Cremaschi is staying put. The midfielder has featured in 17 games this season, with three goals and one assist.
Cremaschi has a role as both a starter and off-the-bench option for Tata Martino and looks to be staying in MLS for the foreseeable future. In total, the 19-year-old has played in 45 MLS games, with five goals and five assists.
Cremaschi has also committed to the USMNT project, with one cap for the senior team and one game for the Olympic squad. Cremaschi could also be an MLS player that new manager Mauricio Pochettino may look at.
