The Argentine youth international officially joined the MLS franchise last month after securing an $8m move from Argentinos Juniors to Inter Miami, reportedly snubbing FC Barcelona and Real Madrid.

Whilst Redondo himself has admitted that playing alongside Lionel Messi impacted his decision, the midfielder has now revealed that he is excited to work with another Inter Miami figure in Martino.

And for Redondo, the 21-year-old is seemingly excited to get to work with playing under Martino, with big things expected from the new signing from Argentina.

Redondo arrives in Florida with a massive reputation, with the midfielder viewed by many as a player who is already good enough to play in Europe.

Indeed, Redondo has the potential to become a superstar and one of Inter Miami’s most important players, and it’ll be up to Martino to unlock the youngster’s potential and to get him on the path to stardom in MLS.
