“Diego is a complete midfielder who we believe will contribute at all stages of the game. We believe in his ability and potential that will expand our team’s potential,” said Inter Miami sporting director Chris Henderson.
Gómez played 51 games as captain for Paraguay’s under-20 team and four for the senior team.
Inter Miami owner, Cuban-American Jorge Mas, said on Tuesday that more signings are expected this summer.

The Miami owner added that they are also in talks with two young talents from the Argentine league: Racing Club defender Tomás Avilés and Newell’s Old Boys striker Brian Aguirre.
But he also suggested that former Barcelona and Liverpool striker Luis Suarez, 36, could be another signing if he manages to get out of his contract with Gremio.
“I don’t know how Luis Suárez could leave Grêmio. But if he does, we are free to talk with Luis and bring him to Inter Miami. That possibility would be there”, he added.
Messi and Busquets will be able to debut with their new club on Friday against Cruz Azul of Mexico in the League Cup.
