Inter Miami have confirmed that the club has acquired an additional 2024 International Roster Slot from D.C. United in exchange for defender Christopher McVey. The Herons will also receive up to $100,000 in General Allocation Money (GAM) if McVey meets certain performance metrics.

The Swedish-American defender, who can play centrally or on the left, spent the past two seasons at Inter Miami after featuring for Swedish top-flight side IF Elfsborg and is Inter Miami’s second outbound center back of the offseason after they previously shipped Kamal Miller to Portland Timbers.
