In recent hours, Spanish media outlet El Chiringuito revealed that Rodrigo De Paul is on Inter Miami's radar, where he could once again share a team with his friend Lionel Messi. According to journalist Marcos Benito, the owner of the North American club, Jorge Mas, has already initiated formal contact with the player's camp in an attempt to finalize the signing.
The midfielder for Atlético de Madrid, who has also attracted interest from other clubs, has emerged as a priority for Javier Mascherano, who is looking to strengthen a midfield that features players like Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba. The MLS team's plan is to compete for the top spots again after an inconsistent start.
However, the negotiation will not be easy. According to journalist Marcos Durán, Atlético would only be willing to let him go for a sum close to 15 million euros. Furthermore, Cholo Simeone would be in favor of De Paul staying at least until the end of his contract, which expires in 2026.
