WHAT HAPPENED?

Inter Miami and Atlético Madrid have a verbal agreement for Rodrigo De Paul‘s transfer. The deal is worth about €15 million. De Paul will sign a four-year contract. He will bring experience and strength to Inter Miami’s team. The 30-year-old played a key role in Argentina’s 2022 World Cup win. He leaves Atlético Madrid after three years and nearly 200 appearances according to multiple reports. The move will happen before the MLS transfer window closes. The formalities will finish in a few days. De Paul has already missed Atlético’s preseason training. He is preparing for his new start in the United States.

A STAR-STUDDED MIAMI SQUAD

De Paul will join a team full of experience at Inter Miami. He will play with former teammates and fellow Argentine Lionel Messi as well as Sergio Busquets, and Jordi Alba. Inter Miami is working on their ambitious project. They want to improve after a disappointing early exit in last year’s MLS Cup playoffs. Right now, Inter Miami is currently sixth in the MLS Eastern Conference, ten points behind leaders FC Cincinnati. They have a four-point lead over third-place New York City FC. De Paul’s arrival is expected to help Miami win their first MLS Cup. He will add creativity and leadership to the midfield. Last season at Atlético, De Paul played in 34 La Liga matches, scoring 3 goals and providing 7 assists as reported.

UPCOMING FIXTURES AND FUTURE OUTLOOK

Inter Miami will soon play against Mexican team Tigres UANL in the Leagues Cup on July 30. It is a high-profile match as both teams lead their leagues. In the MLS, Miami’s next league game is on August 3 against Atlanta United. Atlanta United is currently seventh in the Eastern Conference. With De Paul joining, Miami hopes his experience and energy will help them close the gap at the top. Looking to the future, they will focus on integrating De Paul into the starting lineup. They want to strengthen their trophy ambitions for this season and beyond.
