Come for Messi! De Paul travels to Miami with 15 million, and the Argentine champions bid farewell to Europe

After Qatar won the World Cup, we all thought that it would be the beginning of a new dynasty in Argentina.

At that time, everyone felt that these champion players must have to play in Europe for several more years to help the team prepare for the 2026 World Cup to defend their title.

Who would have thought that this champion team would be dispersed just after saying that.

The meritorious veteran takes the lead. Di Maria will no longer play for the national team if she plays Perfect Continental Cup. This "angel" gave all his last strength to the blue and white battle robe, and it was time to take a break.

Then, the defense line began to "group" back to his hometown. Akunia, Montel, and Pezera, played well in Europe and all ran back to Ajia's riverbed.

The worst thing is Gomez. Because of the drug detection problem, the person was directly banned for two years. When he can play, he can only go to Serie B. On July 23, another shocking news came from this "departure tide". Messi's most iron "bodyguard", DePaul, also left.

Transfer master Romano personally came out and shouted "Here we go". Miami International spent 15 million euros to sign him from Atletico Madrid, and the contract was signed for 4 years.

In fact, there are many teams who want to chase DePaul, but he finally chose Miami.

For 31-year-old DePaul, nothing is more important than continuing to hang out with Messi. This Argentina's iron waist finally got the qualification to "take a job" in the United States.

At this point, there are already 9 people in the Argentine champion team of the Qatar World Cup and no longer play in the top five European leagues.

You can really startle this list carefully:

9 players who have left the top five European leagues:

Messi (Paris Saint-Germain → Miami International)

Di Maria (Juventus → Benfica → Rosario Center)

de Paul (Atletico Madrid → Miami International)

Acunia (Seville → Riverbed)

Montel (Seville → Riverbed)

Pezera (Real Betis → Riverbed)

Paredes (Rome → Boca Youth)

Angel Correa (Atletico Madrid → Mexican Tigers)

Gomez (Seville → After the ban, he joined Padua in Serie B)

. Even if he is now going to play the Liberators Cup, I personally think that it is not a big problem to compete for a championship. But for the Argentine national team, the departure of these core backbones has had a great impact.

Scarloni is probably already overwhelmed. The veterans all left one by one. Newcomers like Garnacho and Calbonney have really arrived at the World Cup. Can they withstand it? No one is sure of this.

After all, the lifeblood of Argentina is still Messi. As long as the 39-year-old Messi can still play in 2026, the soul of this team will still be there. The key is that he must be healthy and there must be someone around him.

Another thing that makes fans very happy is that the good brothers DePaul and Messi got together in the club. Everyone saw how DePaul ran all over the game to protect Messi.

Now that I have arrived in Miami, Messi has the most capable bodyguard that can run and grab the most.

I hope that these old boys can enjoy football at the end of their careers, and I hope that Argentina can successfully change blood, bringing us new surprises in 2026!
