Inter Miami CF has yet to make its marquee signing.

And according to club owner Jorge Mas, fans of the MLS' newest expansion franchise will have to wait until the summer for one to arrive.

"We have one open DP [Designated Player] spot. It's going to be geared toward a striker," Mas told MLS Soccer.

"Every one has been expecting a really big name and some from Europe. There's a possibility that we wait until the summer transfer window, for that 'nine'."

A number of Europe's star forwards have been rumoured to be targets for Miami, including Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, and even Cristiano Ronaldo, according to ESPN FC.

However, given the club has played only one MLS game to date, such superpowers of world football are unlikely to find themselves in Florida any time soon.
