“Julian is an established player with a winning track record in the league who has proven himself at every stage during his MLS career,” said Chief Soccer Officer and Sporting Director Chris Henderson. “We are pleased to add him to our squad as his versatility and quality delivery will bolster Inter Miami as we look to build on the successes of last season in 2024.”

“I’m thrilled to be joining such an ambitious organization as Inter Miami for this new chapter in my career. I’m ready to get to work and use my experience in this league to help my new teammates and this great Club achieve its dream of winning more titles,” said Gressel.
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Gressel will immediately provide competition on the right flank, while also allowing Tata Martino to change formations if needs be. The U.S. international will challenge Deandre Yedlin for minutes, but the Argentina head coach could also push him into the midfield or attack. It remains to be seen what the Herons' plans are for the 30-year-old, but he will play a crucial role in their upcoming campaign.
