Rodrigo De Paul Joins Inter Miami in High-Profile Transfer from Atlético Madrid

Inter Miami has officially secured the signing of Argentine midfielder Rodrigo De Paul from Atlético Madrid on an initial loan deal, with a permanent transfer set to be completed in 2026. The 31-year-old becomes the latest marquee addition to the MLS side as they strengthen their squad for the second half of the season. His departure from Spain was hinted at earlier when Atlético posted a farewell message ahead of Inter Miami’s announcement.
De Paul’s arrival adds significant experience and championship pedigree to the team. With 187 appearances, 14 goals, and 26 assists over four seasons with Atlético Madrid, he was a key figure under Diego Simeone after transferring from Udinese. His winning mentality, shaped by both club success and his role in Argentina’s 2022 World Cup triumph, is seen as a vital asset for Miami’s ambitions.
In Miami’s midfield, De Paul will link up with seasoned names such as Sergio Busquets, Benjamin Cremaschi, and fellow Argentine Federico Redondo. This revamped core is expected to complement Lionel Messi’s leadership in attack, creating a more cohesive and dominant presence on the pitch. The combination of skill, experience, and chemistry could elevate Miami’s competitiveness in MLS.
Despite questions surrounding roster regulations—especially the usage of all Designated Player slots—Inter Miami reportedly completed the deal with a transfer fee of around \$17 million. The move has sparked discussion about the club's financial strategy, but it also underscores their intent to build a title-contending squad. De Paul’s reputation as Messi’s on-field protector adds another layer of intrigue to an already star-studded team.
