CBS Miami May 29, 2021 Major League Soccer has fined Inter Miami $2 million and imposed other sanctions following its investigation into the 2020 signing of French international Blaise Matuidi. The league's investigation determined Miami violated roster designation rules for Matuidi and Andrés Reyes. It also found the team didn't disclose agreements that led to underreported salaries for Leandro González Pirez, Nicolás Figal and Julián Carranza. Matuidi, who played for the 2018 World Cup winners, came to Miami from Juventus in August. The team said it used targeted allocation money to sign him. The league's investigation, launched in March, determined Matuidi should have been a designated player.
