Argentine midfielder Rodrigo De Paul is on the verge of joining Inter Miami, where he would reunite with long-time national teammate Lionel Messi.
According to The Athletic, the 31-year-old has agreed to a four-year deal and is expected to arrive in Miami immediately, skipping Atlético Madrid’s preseason preparations.
The move reportedly took shape during the FIFA Club World Cup, marking a turning point in De Paul’s career as he shifts focus toward long-term development and the growing influence of Messi within the MLS.
While Atlético Madrid is seeking a fee of up to €15 million—well below De Paul’s current €25 million market value—both clubs are motivated to finalize the transfer swiftly.
