TYC: Miami International intends to sign DePaul, but he will see if Messi continues to stay in the team

According to TYC, Miami International intends to sign Atletico Madrid midfielder De Paul, but the player's decision will depend on whether Messi will remain in the team.

Miami International is eager to sign Messi's close friend De Paul, who has made an offer to the 2022 World Cup champion. According to TyC Sports, the Atletico midfielder is evaluating the proposal from Miami International and will give a response in the near future. However, his decision will depend on whether Messi will remain in the team, as Messi's contract expires in December.

If DePaul agrees to join Miami International, the next will be negotiations between the two clubs. At present, Miami International has not had in-depth discussions with Atletico Madrid on the transfer matter and is waiting for the player's own reply.

31-year-old DePaul has made 187 appearances in various competitions and scored 14 goals since joining Atletico Madrid in July 2021. Prior to this, he played in 184 games with Udinese and scored 34 goals, and played briefly in Valencia, scoring two goals in 44 appearances.

Since Scaloni took over the Argentina national team coach, DePaul has become a regular and key figure in the team, which has led to a deep friendship with Messi. In addition, there are many Argentine faces in Miami International. In addition to Messi, they also include Ustari, Vegant, Aviles, Luyan, B-Rodriguez, Allende, Rio Alfonso and Redondo Jr., as well as coach Mascherano.
