Lionel Messi gains support as Rodrigo De Paul joins Inter Miami from Atletico Madrid, adding experience and tenacity to the midfield.

The 31-year-old star is officially Messi's club teammate after Inter Miami announced De Paul's arrival on Friday. It's a reunion for the two Argentina stars who led the Albiceleste to the 2022 World Cup title in Qatar.

Argentine midfielder Rodrigo De Paul has agreed to contract terms with Inter Miami. A person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press about the deal on Wednesday on condition of anonymity because the signing has not been announced.
