Raúl Sanllehí is set to bring his vast experience from top European clubs like Barcelona and Arsenal to his new role as co-president of Inter Miami CF. With a background in LaLiga and the Premier League, Sanllehí has a clear vision for the club’s future. He aims to implement a model that focuses on player development from the academy to the first team, drawing inspiration from his time at elite clubs that consistently compete in the Champions League.
Sanllehí played a crucial role in the development of current Inter Miami players such as Lionel Messi, Sergio Busquets, Luis Suárez, and Jordi Alba during his tenure at Barcelona. Now, he is eager to replicate the success of Barcelona’s academy at Inter Miami. He believes in the importance of building a strong foundation in the academy and gradually integrating young talents into the first team. This long-term approach, as seen in Barcelona’s success, is key to creating a sustainable football powerhouse.
The current Inter Miami squad already features promising academy players who have made significant contributions to the team’s success. Players like Leo Alfonso, Benjamin Cremaschi, and David Ruiz have showcased their talent on the field and are integral parts of the team’s future. Sanllehí hopes to continue nurturing these young talents and providing them with opportunities to grow and succeed at the club.
Sanllehí will collaborate with Xavier Asensi, who will oversee the team’s commercial operations. Asensi, who previously worked at Barcelona, has played a key role in tripling Inter Miami’s revenues since joining the club in 2021. The synergy between Sanllehí’s focus on player development and Asensi’s expertise in business operations will be crucial in driving the club’s overall growth and success.
The ultimate goal for Sanllehí and Asensi is to transform Inter Miami CF into a global football powerhouse. By combining their respective strengths in player development and commercial growth, they aim to elevate the club to new heights. With a shared vision and a strategic approach, the duo is poised to lead Inter Miami towards a bright future in the world of football.
