Inter Miami have transferred midfielder and former club captain Gregore to Brazilian club Botafogo for a reported fee of $2.8m.

Gregore returns to Brazil where he spent his entire career prior to joining the Herons in February of 2021. He departs DRV PNK Stadium having made 67 appearances across all competitions.

“We would like to thank Gregore for all of his contributions on and off the pitch, and wish him the best in this next step in his career as he returns home to Brazil. His leadership and hard work were key for us during his time at the club,” Miami chief soccer officer and sporting director Chris Henderson said in a release.

“We are positioning ourselves to be ready for what we’re sure will be an exciting 2024 season.”

The move was sanctioned so that Miami are roster compliant before the deadline on Friday, February 23.

Houston Dynamo have signed midfielder/winger Coco Carrasquilla to a fresh contract through the 2025 MLS campaign with options for 2026 and 2027.

“Coco is an exceptional talent, who is garnering significant international attention for his performances for both club and country over the past couple of years,” Dynamo general manager Pat Onstad said in a release.

“Extending Coco’s deal was a priority for us this offseason, as he is an integral part of one of the best midfields in the league and a key contributor to our recent success. We are happy for Coco to commit to a new deal as we build upon the strong foundation set last year.”

The 25-year-old lifted the 2023 US Open Cup with the Dynamo and has managed seven goals in 81 appearances since joining in 2021 from Spanish side Cartagena. Carrasquilla has also suited up 51 times for the Panama national team, scoring twice.
