Inter Miami has officially confirmed the signing of Argentine World Cup-winning midfielder Rodrigo De Paul, putting an end to weeks of speculation. The 31-year-old star has joined the Florida-based MLS club on a one-year loan deal, with an option to make the transfer permanent in 2026, as stated in a club announcement on Thursday night.
Inter Miami’s co-owner David Beckham expressed his excitement about the signing, saying, “Rodrigo is a player I’ve admired for a long time. He’s left his mark on every team he’s played for, including Argentina. We’re thrilled to have such an experienced, passionate, and talented player join Inter Miami.”
De Paul previously played four years at Spanish club Atlético Madrid, where he featured in 187 matches under Diego Simeone, scoring 14 goals and providing 26 assists. Atlético Madrid bid farewell to De Paul with a post on X, stating, “We wish Rodrigo De Paul the best in his personal and professional journey.”
At Inter Miami, De Paul will line up in midfield alongside Sergio Busquets, Benjamin Cremaschi, and fellow Argentine Federico Redondo. The club plans to build its midfield balance around De Paul, who is regarded as one of the top midfielders in the MLS. His arrival is expected to transform the team’s midfield dynamics and bring a new dimension to their gameplay.
According to media reports, De Paul’s transfer fee is approximately $18 million, equivalent to around 207.46 crore Bangladeshi Taka. While questions have been raised about how this significant amount fits within MLS’s financial structure, football analysts believe this is a major coup for Inter Miami.
Previously, rumors linked stars like Neymar Jr. and Kevin De Bruyne to Inter Miami, but those moves never materialized. With De Paul’s arrival, Inter Miami has secured another World Cup winner to join forces with Lionel Messi, boosting the team’s prospects and providing Messi with added support on the pitch.
