Inter Miami CF announced today it has loaned Homegrown midfielder David Ruíz to Major League Soccer side Red Bull New York through the conclusion of the 2026 MLS season, and New York will have an option to buy at the conclusion of the loan.
In exchange, Inter Miami will receive $75,000 in 2027 General Allocation Money (GAM) as part of the trade agreement.
Ruíz, 22, signed as Homegrown Player in 2023 and was an important member of the team as it won its first two titles in Club history by winning the 2023 Leagues Cup and the 2024 Supporters’ Shield title, clinching the latter establishing the MLS single-season points record in the process. Ruíz also achieved several milestones in that span, most notably becoming Inter Miami’s first Academy product to score for the Club’s First Team with a goal in a 2-1 regular season home win against New England Revolution on May 13, 2023.
Ruíz initially joined the Academy in 2021 with the U-17 side and steadily progressed through the Club’s development pathway, featuring for Inter Miami II before signing with the First Team in 2023 as the sixth Academy product to do so.
