Rodrigo de Paul meets Lionel Messi!

Atletico Madrid's Argentine midfielder Rodrigo de Paul is preparing to leave the team. Although he has many suitors from Europe, the 32-year-old's new address is likely to be a surprise team.

According to Fabrizio Romano, MLS side Inter Miami have stepped up their negotiations with Atletico Madrid to sign Rodrigo de Paul.

Inter Miami, who do not want to break the ideal of a high standard team after the Club World Cup, want to add Rodrigo de Paul, a close friend of the team's star Lionel Messi, to their roster in a short time.

On the other hand, de Paul is very warm to this transfer because of the presence of Lionel Messi in the team.

The Atletico Madrid management, on the other hand, are demanding a 15 million Euro fee for de Paul, who coach Diego Simeone wants to stay in the team.
