TRANSFER VIEWER STATUS Trade MIA acquisition Kamal Miller, $1.3 million GAM Kamal Miller gets $1.3M GAM MTL Bryce Duke, Ariel Lassiter Eastern Conference sides CF Montréal and Inter Miami CF have completed a key swap ahead of Game 8 of the 2023 season, clubs announced on Wednesday. Known for mining in the MLS trading market, Montréal brought in midfielder Bryce Duke and Costa Rican international forward Ariel Lassiter from Herons. On the way from CFM to Miami are Canadian international defender Kamal Miller and his $1.3 million General Allocation Money . The selling club keeps a percentage of the sale for each player involved in the trade. The highlight of the trade could be Miller, who represented Canada at the 2022 FIFA World Cup and was last year’s MLS All-Star. The 25-year-old can start at Miami’s centre-back, along with Ukrainian international Sergii Kryvtsov, who is off-season from Shakhtar Donetsk. In his fifth MLS season, Miller has scored 3g6a in 88 games with Montréal and Orlando City SC so far. “Kamal is a standout defender just entering his prime,” Chris Henderson, Miami’s chief football director and sports director, said in a statement. “Every year of his career he has improved and in his position he has become one of the best players in the league. He has also been successful on international stage, including the biggest stage of World Cup. “Furthermore, this trade gives us the flexibility to continue making exciting moves in the near future and further strengthen our roster.” Duke and Lassiter must offer Montréal options in the offensive phase after scoring just three goals in their first six games with new coach Hernan Losada. Duke has 1g11a in 61 games with LAFC and Inter Miami, while Lassiter has 8g6a in 97 games with LA Galaxy, Houston Dynamo FC and Inter Miami. How do the players adapt? Miller gives Miami his second new starting defender acquired in the Primary Transfer Window ; Kryvtsov joined in late January after leaving UEFA Champions League regular Shakhtar Donetsk. The arrival of both players in South Florida created a roster change in front of goalie Drake Callender after Damion Lowe left behind the Miami commercial center to the Philadelphia Union earlier this winter.

They’ve been associated with high-profile moves for former FC Barcelona teammates Lionel Messi and Sergio Busquets this summer, and the extra funding could help fit those
