The Matias Rojas Saga between Corinthians and Inter Miami
The latest saga involving Paraguayan midfielder Matias Rojas is raising questions and speculations, as his name surfaces on the Inter Miami website, of Major League Soccer (MLS), before any official announcement. While fans eagerly await confirmation of the transfer, the legality of including Rojas on Inter Miami’s player list before the formal announcement raises concerns about potential consequences for the club and challenges the norms established by the MLS.
Since his name began circulating as a possible addition to Inter Miami, Matias Rojas has been the subject of intense speculation and debate. Still under contract with Corinthians, the Paraguayan player finds himself in a delicate position, where his premature inclusion on Inter Miami’s player list may be interpreted as a violation of MLS transfer rules.

The lack of an official announcement from Inter Miami only adds to the uncertainty surrounding this transfer. While some speculate that the club may be acting recklessly by including Rojas on their website before finalizing all contractual details, others suggest that this move may be part of a strategy to generate anticipation and excitement among fans. It’s important to remember that such actions may have significant legal and financial consequences for the club, especially if they are considered violations of MLS rules.
Major League Soccer, like any professional league, has strict regulations governing player transfers. Any move that violates these rules can result in severe penalties, including substantial financial fines and even the prohibition of registering new players. Therefore, including Matias Rojas on Inter Miami’s list before the official announcement may be seen as a risky move, one that could potentially harm not only the club but also the reputation of MLS as a league that operates with integrity and transparency.
In addition to legal issues, the saga of Matias Rojas also raises questions about the ethics of negotiations. While clubs often seek to gain a competitive advantage by securing the signing of a coveted player, it’s important to remember that these players are more than mere pieces on a chessboard. They are professionals with careers and reputations to uphold, and any move that involves them in a potentially harmful situation should be carefully considered.

“Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta” star Tommie Lee among 6 arrested during World Cup match in Miami, sheriff says
Reality television personality Tommie Lee — whose real name is Atasha Jefferson — best known for her appearances on “Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta,” was among six people arrested during the England vs. Norway FIFA World Cup match in Miami on Saturday, according to the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office.
The sheriff’s office said 60,024 fans attended the match. Deputies also reported 19 ejections from the stadium, adding that all incidents were isolated and handled quickly.
Authorities have not yet released the circumstances surrounding Jefferson’s arrest or any charges she may face.
A social media account that regularly reports celebrity news claimed Sunday that Jefferson was arrested July 11 and released July 12 after posting a $1,000 bond. The post also alleged she is facing a felony charge of interference with a sporting or entertainment event and said she later shared a video on Snapchat appearing to be in good spirits after her release.
What we don’t know
CBS News has not independently verified those claims, including the reported charge, bond amount or release information, and Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office has not publicly confirmed those details.
CBS News has also not independently verified what led to the encounter, and the sheriff’s office has not said what prompted deputies to take Jefferson into custody.
CBS News has requested Jefferson’s arrest report, booking information and any charging documents from the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office. A request for comment has also been sent to Jefferson’s representatives.
Reality TV star’s legal troubles in South Florida amid World Cup festivities
Jefferson rose to national prominence as one of the breakout personalities on “Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta” before later appearing on several Zeus Network reality series, where she has remained a frequent cast member.
This is not Jefferson’s first legal issue in South Florida. In 2024, she was arrested in Miami Beach on a battery charge following an incident outside LIV Nightclub. Court records from that case alleged she physically confronted another person before officers took her into custody.
Saturday’s arrest comes as Miami continues hosting FIFA World Cup matches that have drawn tens of thousands of fans from around the world. Despite the arrests and ejections, the sheriff’s office said the event proceeded safely and described the incidents as isolated.
This is a developing story. CBS News will update this article as additional information, including the exact circumstances surrounding Jefferson’s arrest and any charges, becomes available.
