Inter Miami Eyeing De Paul, Messi Could Influence Move

According to ESPN analyst Hercules Gomez, Inter Miami’s pursuit of Rodrigo De Paul could bring a positive impact to MLS and make Lionel Messi happy.

The Atletico Madrid midfielder has emerged as a top target for The Herons — his contract with the Spanish club runs until June 2026, with no extension agreement reached so far.

Inter Miami aims to take advantage of the situation, with Messi’s presence seen as a key factor in luring De Paul. The two Argentinians share a close relationship from their time together with the Argentina national team, which could be a major influence in De Paul’s potential move to the United States.
