Gonzalo Higuaín switched from Juventus to Inter Miami in September following the culmination of a lengthy manhunt of the former Napoli and Real Madrid striker.
The older Higuain signed with DC for the 2020 season as a player and development coach, but expressed his desire to play alongside his brother in Miami and the club complied with that request.
