With a mandatory option to make the move permanent through 2029. The 31‑year‑old World Cup and Copa América winner reunites with long-time compatriot Lionel Messi. Along with former Barcelona stars Sergio Busquets, Jordi Alba and Luis Suárez.
At Atlético Madrid, de Paul appeared 187 times across four seasons. Tallying 14 goals and 26 assists.

To circumvent MLS roster constraints. De Paul joined Miami on loan rather than as a Designated Player; the roster slots for Messi, Busquets, and Alba were already occupied. So it was structured under TAM/GAM rules before converting to a full contract in 2026. He reportedly signed a long-term contract beginning in 2026 worth around €15 million. Aided by Atlético extending his deal through mid‑2027 to facilitate the move.
De Paul himself expressed his ambition to compete. And win titles in Miami and to help “write the pages” of Inter Miami’s growing history alongside his international teammates and club legends
