Montréal Secures Avilés from Inter Miami
24 Jan
Summary
- CF Montréal is finalizing a deal for Argentine center back Tomás Avilés.
- The transfer from Inter Miami includes a purchase option for Montréal.
- Avilés, 21, was acquired by Miami for approximately $7 million.
CF Montréal is reportedly close to finalizing a deal to sign Argentine center back Tomás Avilés from Inter Miami. Sources indicate the transfer includes a purchase option for the Canadian club, signaling a potentially significant addition to their defense.
This acquisition aligns with Montréal's established strategy of acquiring promising young talent from within Major League Soccer. The club has a history of successfully developing players like Djordje Mihailovic and Alistair Johnston before their moves abroad.
Avilés, 21, joined Inter Miami in the summer of 2023. He was initially acquired for a fee around $7 million, making him the most expensive center back in league history at the time. Despite making 87 appearances, his role diminished by the end of the 2025 season.
The transfer provides Avilés with a change of scenery and a clearer path to consistent minutes. For Inter Miami, it resolves a U-22 initiative roster spot issue, especially with the recent signing of Brazilian center back Micael and the continued presence of Noah Allen and Maxi Falcon.
