Twellman Urges Inter Miami to Target Lewandowski Over Neymar

With Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets set to retire, Inter Miami will have two designated player spots open. While Neymar is linked with a move after his Santos contract ends in December 2025, analyst Taylor Twellman advises signing Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski instead, emphasizing youth, mobility, and replacing Luis Suarez effectively.

In the latest update from Athlon Sports, Inter Miami faces a crucial offseason as veterans Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets prepare to retire, leaving two designated player spots open for 2026. With Lionel Messi extending his contract for three more years, the club is looking to reinforce its star-studded roster that already includes Luis Suarez and Rodrigo De Paul.

While Neymar has been strongly linked with a move from Santos FC once his contract expires in December 2025, former USMNT forward and Apple TV analyst Taylor Twellman has advised Inter Miami to avoid the reunion of the famous MSN trio. Twellman believes the club should instead focus on youth and mobility, naming Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski as the ideal signing to replace the aging Suarez. He emphasized that adding Neymar might not serve Miami’s long-term interests, suggesting that Lewandowski’s proven goal-scoring ability and professionalism would better balance the team’s attack alongside Messi.

With Suarez’s future still uncertain and De Paul likely to fill one of the remaining designated player slots, the decision on Miami’s third marquee signing could shape the club’s MLS dominance for years to come. Twellman’s comments highlight a growing belief that Inter Miami needs fresh energy rather than nostalgia-driven signings.
