MONTREAL – CF Montreal acquired Argentine defender Tomas Avilés on loan from Inter Miami CF through the 2026 season on Friday.
The Major League Soccer team will hold an option to acquire the player following the loan.
In return, Montreal sent a 2026 international roster spot to Inter Miami.
Avilés helped Miami win the Leagues Cup in 2023, the Supporters’ Shield in 2024, and the MLS Cup in 2025 after joining the team in August 2023.
A product of Argentine first division side Racing Club de Avellaneda, the 21-year-old Avilés played in 63 games over three seasons for Miami, producing three goals and three assists.
Internationally, Avilés suited up for Argentina at the 2023 under-20 World Cup.
“Tomas is a reliable defender in one-on-one situations and has a great first pass,” said CF Montréal Managing Director, Recruitment and Sporting Methodology, Luca Saputo, in a statement. “His understanding of the game and ability to defend by pushing forward give us flexibility, both defensively and in terms of the system the coach wants to implement.”
