There are reports that MLS striker Juan Agudelo will be taking his talents to south Florida.

Agudelo, who was selected by Toronto FC in Stage 2 of the MLS re-entry draft earlier this month, will sign with expansion MLS franchise Inter Miami CF, according to sources. The Agudelo camp and TFC were too far apart on compensation.

The 27-year-old earned $605,000 last season with the New England Revolution. The Revs declined an option on his contract last month. TFC acquired his rights but couldn’t work out a deal.

TFC GM Ali Curtis was recently in South America and Europe to scout a prospective attacking player/goal scorer who would sign on as a Designated Player to supplement star goal-scorer Jozy Altidore and playmaker Alejandro Pozuelo. A third DP position opened up recently when the Reds re-signed former DP Michael Bradley to a TAM contract.

TFC is also attempting to bring back French winger Nicolas Benezet but, again, the two sides are reportedly not close to an agreement on money.

Agudelo had won 28 caps with three goals for the U.S. and is coming off a season with the Revs where he scored three goals and added two assists in 28 appearances, playing at a variety of positions.
