Inter Miami Eyes Atletico Madrid Midfielder Rodrigo de Paul Amid Club Dilemma
Rodrigo de Paul, the midfielder for Atletico Madrid, is reportedly considering a move away from the club during this summer transfer window. Interest from Major League Soccer side Inter Miami, owned by David Beckham, has sparked this potential transfer, with the club eager to reunite him with his Argentina teammate Lionel Messi. This tempting offer has begun to sway de Paul’s initial desire to continue his career in Europe’s top leagues.
Despite Atletico Madrid’s management leaning towards selling de Paul for financial reasons, the club faces internal conflict as coach Diego Simeone strongly wants to keep the player. The coach believes de Paul’s presence is vital for Atletico’s competitiveness next season, especially given the difficulty of finding an equally skilled replacement on a modest transfer budget.
Inter Miami has made formal approaches to both the player and Atletico Madrid, proposing a deal believed to be around 15 million euros, much lower than a previous rejected 25 million euro offer from West Ham. The ongoing negotiations reveal a clear divide between the club’s business priorities and the team’s sporting ambitions, placing the final decision in a delicate balance.
Atletico’s dilemma highlights the classic tension between financial needs and maintaining team strength. Ultimately, the fate of Rodrigo de Paul may hinge on Simeone’s ability to convince the club’s board that retaining him is crucial for their goals, including a strong showing in the Champions League. Meanwhile, Inter Miami’s persistent pursuit signals a major shift in de Paul’s career path, potentially bringing him to the growing MLS spotlight.
