Argentina U20 national team player Ignacio Miramón is set to join Lille.
Miramón will be continuing his career in Europe. According to César Luis Merlo, the 20 year old defensive midfielder of Gimnasia La Plata will join Lille for €7 million for 85% of his transfer. He is expected to travel to France in the next few days for his medical and to sign.
He was part of the Argentina U20 national team which took part in the U20 World Cup in June.
Lionel Messi scored twice while Alan Velasco, Facundo Quignón and Benjamin Cremaschi all scored for their respective teams in Inter Miami’s penalty shootout win vs. FC Dallas in the Leagues Cup.
Messi continues to steal the show for Inter Miami and against FC Dallas, it was no different. It took Messi just six minutes into the match to give Inter Miami the 1-0 lead. It was a goal seen several times in Barcelona as Jordi Alba pulled the ball back to Messi and the Best player in the world would score.
Another Argentine would score as Facundo Quignón would draw FC Dallas level. FC Dallas would take the lead right before half time.
Alan Velasco was arguably the best player on the pitch, scored the third goal for FC Dallas off a free kick. Benjamin Cremaschi was brought on as a substitute for Inter Miami and he would score minutes after being substituted into the match. Cremaschi has previously been called up to the Argentina U20 national team for a training camp.
Robert Taylor would score an own goal and that would make it 4-2 for FC Dallas. Inter Miami were awarded a free kick and a cross sent in by Lionel Messi into the penalty area found Marco Farfan but he would score an own goal.
Inter Miami were awarded a free kick late in the match and it was Lionel Messi who took it. And just like he did in his first Inter Miami match, he would score the free kick. The match would go to penalty kicks.
The Best player in the world would take the first penalty kick and score. Facundo Quignón would score his penalty for FC Dallas but it was Benjamin Cremaschi who scored the last penalty kick for Inter Miami to give them the win.

Facundo Medina spoke about the Argentina national team and what he has to do to keep getting called up.
Medina had a great season with RC Lens and was part of the Argentina national team for the two matches against Australia and Indonesia in June. Speaking in an interview with Tuttosport, here is what the 24 year old defender had to say:
“There is a group that is formed, united and of friends, not only of players. We are all focused on the goal and we are aiming in the same direction.
“I know perfectly well what I have to do to convince Scaloni. I have to give 150% with my club and not stop doing well so that the coach favors me.”
Ángel Correa scored for Atletico Madrid in their pre-season match vs. Sevilla.
Correa did not start the match for Atletico but he did make a difference. The 28 year old was brought on as a substitute for Antoine Griezmann in the second half and scored their only goal of the match.
The ball fell to the Argentine inside the penalty area and he would score with a first time effort to draw Atletico level.
Lucas Ocampos started the match for Sevilla while Rodrigo De Paul started the match for Atletico.
