The First Consequences of the Club World Cup: Rodrigo De Paul is Already an Inter Miami Player (We Broke the News a Week Ago)

(By Ortega from Miami) It’s clear that the Club World Cup has only increased competitiveness across the board—not just in attracting brands, but in strengthening teams. Rodrigo De Paul is now a player for Inter Miami, with a transfer fee of approximately 15 million euros.

Mascherano’s First Signing for the Second Half of the Year

After intense negotiations, Inter Miami reached an agreement with Atlético Madrid to acquire Rodrigo De Paul, the 31-year-old Argentine midfielder, in a deal around 15 million euros. One of the highest-paid players on the squad, just behind Lionel Messi.
De Paul, who preferred to move to Miami despite offers from Europe and South America, joins a roster that includes Messi, Luis Suárez, and Busquets. He will be a key piece in the second half of the year aiming for the highly coveted second star in the Leagues Cup.
The player, a World Cup champion in Qatar 2022, will have his first MLS experience, signing a four-year contract with an annual salary of $10 million, making him the second-highest paid after Messi ($12 million).

The Deal: Details and Strategic Context

The transfer of Rodrigo De Paul to Inter Miami, confirmed by journalist Gastón Edul and official sources, was a key move in the international football market. The midfielder, who will not participate in Atlético Madrid’s pre-season, signed a four-year contract with a hefty buyout clause, becoming one of the most talked-about signings in U.S. soccer history.

Key Data on the Transfer 

 

  • Transfer fee: approximately 15 million euros, with additional bonuses based on performance and sporting objectives. 

 

  • Contract length: until 2029. 

 

  • Economic impact: this move reinforces investor and sponsor confidence in establishing Inter Miami as a competitive MLS team and a global player.



The move also reflects a broader global trend: the migration of talent to the U.S., positioning itself as a magnet for sports stars, creating new business opportunities, sports tourism, and additional income streams for the local economy.
