“Both Julián and Matías showed us they really wanted to take the next step of their career with Inter Miami CF," Inter Miami sporting director Paul McDonough said in a statement when the club signed them. “We liked that Pellegrini can play inside and out wide, has very good aerobic capacity and can cover a lot of ground, while Julián is a very grounded player with an impressive work rate. He’s the player that strives to score goals and is very good in the box.”
