A few months ago, Gonzalo Piovi was on Inter Miami's radar, and Lionel Messi spoke with him to convince him to join the MLS project. The pursuit was particularly intense during the Leagues Cup, but the talks between the clubs did not succeed. The Florida team sought to close the deal with deferred payments, which did not convince Cruz Azul. Ultimately, the sky-blue management decided to keep their player, and the departure was never forced by Piovi himself.

Negotiations between Gonzalo Piovi and Inter de Miami are reportedly very advanced. Following a victory against Santos Laguna, Piovi was seen taking photographs with his family, suggesting a potential farewell. Cruz Azul's coach, Nicolás Larcamón, did not deny these transfer rumors during a press conference.

According to Récord, the transfer negotiations between Cruz Azul and Inter Miami for an Argentine defender ended unsuccessfully. Inter Miami had shown strong interest, and there were intense negotiations, but the two clubs could not come to an agreement. The primary issue was the proposed payment plan from the American team, which aimed to complete the transfer by the summer of 2030. Cruz Azul had asked for 7.5 million dollars, while Inter Miami's offer was 6 million, citing budget constraints due to the salary cap in the North American league. As a result, the Argentine defender will remain with Cruz Azul.

Javier Mascherano, the coach of Inter Miami, confirmed the club's interest in Gonzalo Piovi and mentioned that they are working on the transfer. Mascherano stated in a press conference that the news has been widespread and that they are actively pursuing the transfer. He also indicated that the club is considering other defensive options and aims to secure reinforcements before the transfer window closes, without losing any current players.
