Rodrigo De Paul talked up his admiration of Lionel Messi, with a transfer from Atlético Madrid to Inter Miami now set to be completed. De Paul will trade La Liga for Major League Soccer after four years in Spain, boosting an Inter Miami roster that already boasts Sergio Busquets, Luis Suárez and Jordi Alba, in addition to Messi.

David Beckham has delivered an update on Inter Miami’s new stadium, but questions continue to be asked of whether Lionel Messi will play there.

Another close friend of Lionel Messi will soon play in South Florida. Argentine midfielder Rodrigo De Paul has agreed to contract terms with Inter Miami, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press on Wednesday.

Rodrigo De Paul will reportedly first join on loan this summer as the Herons add a major reinforcement to the midfield.
