Messi s "Imperial Guard" has reduced his salary to invest! Miami International finally fulfills Paul s four-year agreement

Argentine well-known journalist Gaston Edul revealed the big news in football: 31-year-old Argentine international Rodrigo de Paul will join Miami International and fight side by side with Messi again. According to the agreement, DePaul will sign a four-year contract, with the transfer fee expected to be around 15 million euros.

What is even more surprising is that the absolute main force of Atletico Madrid voluntarily cut his salary just to follow Messi to the US League. Miami International has designed a transfer plan that rents first and then buys - rents it for 6 months first, and activates the 15 million euro mandatory buyout clause after Busquets' winter contract expires.

The relationship between DePaul and Messi has long surpassed that of ordinary teammates. At the 2022 Qatar World Cup, fans around the world have witnessed the tough midfielder's protection against Messi. Whenever Messi is violated, DePaul is always the first to rush forward, so the fans are affectionately called "Messi's bodyguard".

For this title, DePaul happily accepted: "I enjoyed the time with him very much, and we were very happy together. He took great care of me and would come over and ask me: 'Brother, how are your feet?' To me, this is really incredible." Messi and DePaul appeared together 62 times, winning four championship trophys - including the World Cup, the European and American Cup and the American Cup. In the 2021 Copa America match against Ecuador, the two also staged a wonderful link with Messi assisting De Paul to score.

DePaul's joining is a continuation of the careful planning of Miami International. Since Messi joined, club owners Beckham and Jorge Mas have successively signed Alba, Busquets, Suarez and Mascherano - all of Messi's close friends.

"Messi Friends Team" has become the core strategy of Miami International's team building. The club knows that to convince Messi to renew his contract, it is necessary to create an environment that makes him feel comfortable. As one of Messi's closest comrades, DePaul naturally became a key goal.

"If DePaul's deal ends up, it will undoubtedly imply that the possibility of Messi continuing to stay at Miami International has increased significantly." Transfer expert Romano pointed out incisively in the show. Miami International's determination to retain the era superstar at all costs was fully revealed in DePaul's transfer.

Unlike other veterans who joined the FC, DePaul is still at the peak of his career. He is still an unstoppable main player at Atletico Madrid. He made 50 appearances in various competitions last season, including 38 starts, contributing 3 goals and 10 assists.

Faced with Simeone's resoluteness, DePaul chose to leave the team without hesitation. Atletico Madrid spent 35 million euros to bring him from Udinese to La Liga. In four years, he made 187 appearances for the team and contributed 14 goals and 26 assists. Such a core player's departure is undoubtedly a big loss to Atletico Madrid.

"DePaul yearns to join Miami International and be teammates with Messi, and his family is also eager to start living in the United States." Sources revealed. A football career is not just about honors and data, but also about life and friendship. DePaul's choice reveals another side of the pursuit of professional players.
