Inter Miami are looking for a center-back to complete their squad and the name of Cesar Montes is sounding strongly, so the possibility of the Mexican defender playing alongside Leo Messi seems certain. In fact, Tata Martino did not shy away from the question he was asked about the Almeria player.
Martino, who knows Montes very well from his time as Mexican national team coach, was full of praise when he spoke about him and is the first one to encourage the possibility of his arrival at Inter Miami, although time is running against him, as the transfer market closes this August 14 in MLS.
Martino highlights Cesar‘s play and his way of being, although he does not go into the possible outcome of his future: “Everything I have to say about him is positive, as a footballer and also personally and professionally. I like him a lot, but I have nothing more to say. One thing is what I think of Cesar and another is the possibilities we have”.
An open door
However, Martino is quick to leave the door open to his possible signing, or at least that’s what is clear from his words: “The transfer window closes in three or four days and we are always open. But the search for a central defender is covered with the arrival of David. From then on, whatever comes, if it’s a player like Cesar, it’s welcome”.
Now we will have to wait for the outcome, but the option of seeing Cesar Montes playing alongside Messi does not seem utopian, at least if we go by the words of the Argentine coach.
In addition, Gerardo Martino seems to be the best endorsement for his signing, as he knows him perfectly from his time as coach and he is a player who fits perfectly into his plans.
