InterMiami announced this Thursday that he will exercise the purchase option, among several decisions he has made regarding his team Rodrigo DePaul (31 years old), who previously played on loan from Atlético de Madrid. Among the various announcements, including that he continues negotiations with the Uruguayan Luis Suárez to see if they extend the link, the legend “contract options exercised” appeared with the name Rodrigo De Paul.
Miami will also try to retain Tadeo Allende, an Argentine striker who scored an MLS record for goals in a single postseason (nine) and was on loan from Celta Vigo of Spain’s La Liga.
According to sources close to the club, Iter will pay Miami an amount of around $100,000 $17,000,000 for the final purchase of De Pauland will be a designated player, filling one of the two vacant “DP” positions left by Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba, who retired as professional soccer players after being consecrated in the MLS last Saturday. At the same time, they are extending the Argentine international’s contract until 2029.”“DP” means “Designated Player”also known as franchise players, a rule that allows clubs to sign up to three stars whose salaries (or a portion thereof) do not fully count toward the league’s salary cap.
On July 31st, Rodrigo De Paul made his debut in the pink jersey. His debut at home and against Atlas de México in the League Cup was complete: he played 90 minutes, stood out, at the end of the game he had a hot cross, everything before a warm hug with Lionel Messi. It was a reunion between partners and friends, a complicity that goes beyond the field of play. And the next World Cup will still take place in the United States, Mexico and Canada. In this debut with Inter Miami, De Paul had completed some training sessions immediately after his arrival from Spain and the statistics accompanied him: in addition to the 90 minutes, he completed eight ball recoveries, completed 54 of 58 passes and won half of the shared balls (3 of 6).
“I feel comfortable, I am very happy. I’m coming to help“, had said the midfielder, who appreciated the style of play proposed by Javier Mascherano, his new coach: “Masche wants us to play that we come out from below with the ball.” “I have a lot of confidence in this team.” It was the beginning of an adventure that ended a few months later with the first title at club level.as he had not previously won the championship at Racing, Udinese or Atlético de Madrid. He returned the favor in Miami.
“You have to enjoy Messi and help him win titles, that’s the most important thing. He’s the greatest of all.”I am lucky to play with him in the national team, it is a pride to share the club too“, he had explained, with whom he maintains a friendly relationship that now goes beyond his ties to Inter Miami and the Argentine national team. It is clear that without Messi, De Paul would hardly have made the decision to leave one of the most important leagues in Europe and with frequent participation in the Champions League to go to the MLS. That is why the Argentine number 10 is not an afterthought in this whole story. That is why it was not surprising that Leo received him with the following praise: “We’ve known each other for a long time.” It gives us a leap in quality. He came with great enthusiasm and everything went well todaywith the humidity and heat that it was.”
The statement that Inter Miami released this Thursday about its David Ruiz, Mateo Silvetti, Telasco Segovia and Óscar Ustari. He explains this in the same report Marcelo Weigandt, The Boca-trained right-back “is returning to Argentina due to the end of his loan.”
