The move come just days after Morgan, 23, was allowed to fly back from Celtic’s winter training camp in Dubai to hold talks with the fledgling American club.
It’s believed the Hoops accepted a six-figure sum for the Scotland international ahead of the move.
And Morgan will now uproot his life in Scotland start afresh in Florida ahead of the start of the new MLS season in March.
The winger only joined Celtic from St Mirren two years ago after coming through the youth ranks with the Buddies and Rangers.
But he didn’t properly join up with the Parkhead side until the summer of 2018, having spent the second half of the 2017-18 campaign on loan back at St Mirren.
Morgan ultimately struggled for game time at Celtic however, making just 31 appearances in all competitions and scoring two goals either side of another loan spell at Sunderland.
He’ll now hope kickstart his career in the States under new Inter Miami manager Diego Alonso and owner Beckham.
Morgan will just be the latest Scot to ply his trade in MLS, joining New York City’s Gary Mackay-Steven, Sporting Kansas City’s Johnny Russell and Colorado Rapids stopper Danny Wilson.
