Miami, USA – Inter Miami are increasingly hopeful of completing and sealing the transfer of World Cup winner Rodrigo de Paul from Atlético Madrid in the next few days.
Following significant progress in talks with Atlético on Friday, the MLS club is now pushing hard to secure the final green light as soon as possible.
While some remaining details need to be sorted, the advanced stage of negotiations suggests a resolution is imminent.
As previously reported, Rodrigo de Paul, 31, has already given his “yes” to Inter Miami, indicating his strong desire to reunite with Lionel Messi and join the ambitious MLS franchise.
Inter Miami’s drive to sign de Paul stems from their determination to maintain a high competitive level after their FIFA Club World Cup appearance.
The Argentine midfielder is seen as a crucial target to bolster their squad, particularly in midfield.
De Paul’s current contract with Atlético Madrid runs until June 2026.
With only a year remaining, Atlético is reportedly open to selling him this summer, rather than risk losing him for free next year.
The Spanish club is believed to be seeking a transfer fee in the range of €15-17 million ($17 million), a valuation that Inter Miami appears willing to meet or come very close to.
The potential arrival of de Paul would provide Inter Miami with an energetic, tenacious, and experienced midfielder capable of contributing significantly on both ends of the pitch.
His on-field chemistry with Lionel Messi, forged during their successful runs with the Argentina national team, is a key factor driving Inter Miami’s pursuit.
With the player’s personal terms agreed and club-to-club talks progressing well, all signs point towards Rodrigo de Paul becoming the latest high-profile addition to Inter Miami’s star-studded roster.
