Tata Martino, coach of Inter Miami, was asked about the alleged interest of the club in the signings of Di María, at the end of contract with Benfica, and Sergio Romero. «I have not received anything from the sports director regarding Ángel and Chiquito [Sergio Romero]. The MLS has certain economic restrictions, certain limits and we are complying well with this rule. But today any type of hiring would not be viable especially for players who are exceptional», he said, in statements to Radio Monumental AM 1080. «The truth is that I have no knowledge. I don't know if we have economic conditions and in terms of regulation to bring them. It is certain that the transfer window is closed and only opens in mid-July. We have to see what can be done. Inter Miami is open to the possibility of making signings, there is always the possibility of continuing to improve. We will see at that moment what possibilities we have», he added.
