'Needed To Hear Those Words...': De Paul Opens Up Messi's Advice Following Miami Switch
De Paul revealed that he enjoyed playing alongside Lionel Messi in national colours, and added that playing for the same club would permit the duo to spend more time together. Inter Miami new recruit, Rodrigo De Paul, expressed his delight to be able to share the locker room with national side skipper Lionel Messi on the club level too, following his move to the MLS from La Liga side Atletico Madrid. De Paul revealed that he had always enjoyed playing alongside the eight time Ballon d'Or winner in national colours, and added that playing for the same club would permit the duo, who played a crucial role in Albiceleste's third World Cup title, to spend more time together. 'Every time we would meet in the national team, the day-to-day was amazing, but at the end of the day, it ended up being quite short," De Paul reflected. 'I also wanted to feel that sensation of playing alongside the best," he added. The Herons secured the 31-year-old on loan before the deal becomes permanent in 2026, with the transfer reportedly around £15 million. De Paul started his career at Racing Club before moving to Valencia in 2014. The midfielder joined Udinese in 2016, then moved back to La Liga with Atletico Madrid in 2021. De Paul had a couple of offers from European outfits ahead of his move to American shores, but the Argentine opted to play alongside Messi and expressed his interest in learning about the new territory he picked out. De Paul, widely recognised for his role as a defensive midfielder, joins the support team Miami has built around their superstar Messi. He follows in the footsteps of Luis Suarez, Sergio Busquets, and Jordi Alba, joining the legendary player from Rosario in the United States after Messi's move last year. 'He told me, 'I know what you can give me on the field. I know who you are,'" De Paul revealed what his compatriot told him following his move to the Florida-based club. ''I'm only going to evaluate what you do on the field. As long as you play and you're feeling well, I know the class of player that you are.' I needed to hear those words," he averred. view comments First Published: August 02, 2025, 10:12 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Marseille Rope In Brazilian Forward From Feyenoord On Club Record Deal
Reports claim that the 25-year-old Igor Paixao put pen to paper on a five-year deal valued at around the 35 million euros mark, a record fee for the French side. French side Marseille completed the move to rope in Brazilian forward Igor Paixao from Dutch club Feyenoord on Friday as the Ligue 1 side added firepower to their ranks. Reports claim that the 25-year-old put pen to paper on a five-year deal valued at around the 35 million euros mark, a record fee for the French side. Paixo, who began his youth career at Cortiba before making his senior debut for the club in the year 2019, went on to play for the Brazilian side up until the 2022 season, including a loan spell at Londrina in the 2020/21 campaign. The striker joined Feyenoord in 2022, and led the Dutch side to the league title the following season. In the recently concluded season of the Eredivisie, he found the back of the net 18 times and set up his teammates with 19 assists. He was befittingly named player of the year for his contributions towards his side's success. The Brazilian also got the telling touch for the De StadionClub in their Dutch Cup triumph over Nijmegen. The forward was also rewarded for his showings at club level with a national team call-up as he donned the famous canary yellow drip of the South American nation in 2023 with the Olympic team. Feyenoord finished the recently concluded 2024/25 season of the Dutch top-flight third, behind winners PSV and second-placed Ajax, with 68 points to their name from 34 outings, which sealed their berth in the UEFA Champions League qualifiers. PSV clinched the title following a shocking run of results for Amsterdam-based Ajax, who capitulated the season towards the end of the campaign with a string of subpar showings.
