"Inter Miami are once again setting the bar in MLS. Signing a World Cup winner in his prime like De Paul is exactly the kind of bold move this league needs to grow - not just domestically but globally.
While the rest of MLS is struggling, Inter Miami is building a project with ambition, vision and star power. They're not just signing big names - they're building a contender. And guess what? It's working," says US journalist Daniel Solana.
According to ESPN (USA) journalist Martin Arevalo: "The deal for De Paul to Inter Miami is almost complete, he has reached personal terms and the transfer fee for Atletico Madrid is about 15 million USD. De Paul and his family have been preparing all week to pack their belongings and plan to move to South Florida. It is expected that early next week with the presence of Mr. David Beckham and billionaire brothers Jorge and Jose Mas, Inter Miami will announce De Paul's debut".
Messi is on the rise with Inter Miami
De Paul is also Messi's fourth close friend to join Inter Miami since July 2023, after Suarez, Busquets and Jordi Alba. Three of them, except Suarez and Jordi Alba, are World Cup winners.
De Paul and Messi had a golden period in the Argentina national team when they won the Copa America two consecutive times in 2021 and 2024, won the World Cup 2022 and the Intercontinental Cup in the same year 2022. They will also compete together in the 2026 World Cup, considered the last time in their careers.
While Busquets and the Spanish team won the 2010 World Cup and EURO 2012. Jordi Alba won EURO 2012, and Suarez won the 2011 Copa America with the Uruguay team.
The presence of De Paul will significantly increase the strength in the midfield of Inter Miami, in the journey to sublimation in the rest of the 2025 season and Messi is currently in unstoppable form, according to Spanish newspaper, AS .

Messi and Inter Miami have not been in good form at the beginning of this season, they have suffered many defeats on all fronts, including a shocking 0-3 loss to crosstown rival Orlando City at home at Chase Stadium on May 19.
However, just over a month later, things have changed, and Messi has once again been the focus of Inter Miami's efforts to overcome difficulties, as well as perform impressively at the FIFA Club World Cup 2025™ (reaching the round of 16).
Messi has scored 9 goals and had 4 assists in the last 5 MLS matches, helping Inter Miami win 4 consecutive matches and draw 1, returning to the top and still having 3 matches left in hand.
With 16 games left in the MLS season, Messi, with his current form, is expected to break the MLS scoring record held by striker Carlos Vela (34 goals).
The Argentine has 14 goals and seven assists in 15 games. To break the record, Messi needs to average more than 1.2 goals per game for the rest of the season - a difficult target for most players, but not out of reach for Messi on his current form (he has scored twice in his last four games).
However, whether Messi breaks the record or not, one thing is clear: the player has found his rhythm again, thereby helping him to have impressive preparations towards the 2026 World Cup, the most important goal, according to AS .
