Higuain is the second star to make the move from Turin to Miami in recent weeks, following midfielder Blaise Matuidi in joining David Beckham's club.
“First of all, I want to thank Inter Miami for the effort it has made to sign me. I think it will be a beautiful experience in my life. It’s what I was looking for - a new experience, a new league and a beautiful city. I’m really happy to be here and that it’s official,” said Higuain.
The signing of Higuain gives Inter Miami the club's much-needed No. 9, as the Argentine joins an attack that includes fellow DPs Rodolfo Pizarro and Matias Pellegrini.
He added:“My goal is to try to transmit all the experience I acquired in Europe and to help the team grow. I feel good, I feel whole as a player. I’m motivated to try a new league.
"Individually, my goal is to demonstrate that I can contribute and continue playing great football here, and I hope I can achieve that because I have all the tools necessary to succeed. Inter Miami is a team in construction but there is already a good base to reach important goals."
Miami have struggled to generate goals, with the club currently sitting last in the Eastern Conference with just nine strikes in 11 games.
Higuain, meanwhile, has fired 306 goals in 640 club appearances.
During his time in Europe, Higuain won three La Liga titles with Real Madrid and three Serie A crowns with Juventus, but it was with Napoli that he had his best season, firing 36 league goals in 2015-16 to set the record for most scored in a season in the Italian top flight.
That earned him a move to Juventus where he made 149 appearances for the team, registering 66 goals and 16 assists with loan spells to Chelsea and AC Milan mixed in.
