Top 10 goal scorers in Inter Miami history

In just over five and a half years, Major League Soccer’s Inter Miami has captured the hearts of fans across the U.S. and beyond. Based in the vibrant city of Miami and co-owned by soccer icon David Beckham, the club promised excitement from day one.

While skeptics questioned whether a new team could thrive in the crowded American soccer landscape, Inter Miami quickly proved them wrong. With a mix of promising young talent and experienced professionals, the team offers a glimpse into the evolving face of MLS.

Beckham’s vision has shown that even a newcomer can become a central figure in the league when guided by the right strategy and ambition. Today, the focus is on the players who have made Inter Miami’s brief but remarkable journey truly unforgettable. 

At the heart of the game, it’s the goals that truly steal the spotlight. 

Let’s take a closer look at the top goal-scorers who have worn the Inter Miami jersey since the club’s debut in 2020.

10. Matías Rojas – 9 Goals

Matías Rojas joined Inter Miami CF from Corinthians in April 2024, but his time in Miami was brief. He left the club in January 2025, having scored nine goals and provided two assists in 20 appearances. During the 2024 MLS regular season alone, he contributed four goals and the same two assists.

9. Josef Martinez – 12 Goals

Josef Martínez, who briefly formed a striking partnership with Lionel Messi at Inter Miami, was a key attacking threat for the club — scoring 12 goals in 40 appearances. After his MLS stint, the Venezuelan forward moved to Mexico and now plays for Club Tijuana in the Liga MX Apertura.

8. Telasco Segovia – 14 Goals

Telasco Segovia is one of just four active players on the Herons’ roster. The 22-year-old Venezuelan international, wearing the number 8 shirt, has already scored 14 goals for the club. As a central midfielder, he still has plenty of room to grow and the potential to significantly increase that tally.

7. Jordi Alba – 15 Goals

The now-retired full-back enjoyed a highly successful career at FC Barcelona before joining Inter Miami CF to reunite with Lionel Messi on the left flank. At Miami, Alba has continued to set up goals for Messi just as he did during his Barcelona days. Now 36, he has officially retired, leaving behind a legacy of skill, vision, and teamwork.

6. Robert Taylor – 18 Goals

Taylor, who joined from SK Brann in 2022, quickly became a key figure in Miami’s attack. Over 116 appearances, he scored 18 goals, forming a strong partnership with Messi and the rest of the squad. As of 2026, he now represents Austin FC.

5. Tadeo Allende – 24 Goals

Argentinian winger Tadeo Allende has already netted 24 goals this season and needs just six more to surpass Gonzalo Higuaín in the scoring charts.

4. Gonzalo Higuain – 29 Goals

Undoubtedly, Gonzalo Higuaín ranks as the third-highest scorer in Miami’s history. In just over 70 appearances, the former Gonzalo Higuaín of Real Madrid and Juventus fame netted 29 goals. After a remarkable career, he chose to hang up his boots following his chapter in Miami.

3. Leonardo Campana – 32 Goals

Since arriving from Wolverhampton in 2022, Campana has been nothing short of a revelation. He scored 32 goals, and his permanent transfer—after initially joining on loan—for just over $2.5 million has proven to be a bargain. The Ecuadorian striker now shines for the New England Revolution in Major League Soccer.

2. Luis Suárez – 42 Goals

One of the most impressive aspects of Luis Suárez’s career at Inter Miami CF is how quickly he’s made an impact since joining in January 2024. At 39 years old, the striker has already racked up an astonishing 42 goals for the club. Formerly a star at Liverpool FC, Suárez shows no signs of slowing down and is expected to keep finding the back of the net for as long as he’s at Inter Miami.

1. Lionel Messi – 80 Goals

Even after just 91 games with Inter Miami CF, Lionel Messi has already cemented his status as a club legend. The Ballon d’Or winner has scored an astonishing 80 goals, starting with a memorable free-kick against Cruz Azul.

In his latest match, Messi chipped the ball past D.C. United, reaching the 80-goal milestone and solidifying his place as Inter Miami’s all-time top scorer. His strike helped the Herons secure a 2-1 victory, propelling them into the top four of the Eastern Conference. Messi continues to be a revelation for Miami, thrilling fans every time he steps on the pitch.
