The move will allow Miami to add a non-U.S. national player before the MLS transfer window closes on Aug. 2.
A total of 233 international roster slots are divided among the 29 MLS clubs and are tradable. Therefore, clubs may have more or less than eight players during any given season.
Miami signed Jordi Alba last week and the Spain left-back will join former Barcelona teammates Lionel Messi and Sergio Busquets, who arrived at the club earlier this month.
ESPN reported earlier this month that Miami have expressed an interest in signing Luis Suarez to fill the last international roster slot at Miami.
The Uruguay forward is under contract with Gremio until December 2024.
