UEFA Champions League
The Inter Miami has started the process to sign Rodrigo de Paul, a move directly linked to the desire of Lionel Messi to add a key partner from the Argentine national team. Jorge Mas, the owner of the American club, has already initiated contacts with the midfielder from Atlético de Madrid, with the intention of incorporating him this summer to strengthen a team aiming to win the MLS and keep the world champion motivated for the 2026 World Cup.

Inter Miami Wants Rodrigo de Paul
Although De Paul has a contract with Atletico until 2026, the Madrid club would be willing to negotiate his transfer for around 15 million euros. The club's stance is influenced by the signings made during this transfer window, potentially opening the door for a departure, provided a new midfielder is secured. However, Diego Pablo Simeone remains reluctant to let him leave, aware that his influence in the midfield is not easily replaced at that price.
In Miami, the operation goes beyond the sporting realm. The board aims to strengthen the project with names that make Messi feel supported on and off the field. De Paul, with whom they have a close relationship, is seen as a strategic piece not only for his quality but also for his connection with the '10'.
Inter Miami seeks to make a statement in the American league and reinforce its Argentine identity. De Paul's arrival would send a clear message: they are willing to fulfill the wishes of their top figure and build a championship-winning team around him.
