Argentine midfielder Rodrigo De Paul has agreed to contract terms with Inter Miami, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press on Wednesday. The 31-year-old De Paul will leave Atlético Madrid — where he's played for four years — for Major League Soccer on a short-term contract with Inter Miami that could potentially lead to a multiyear deal.

Miami will visit FC Cincinnati in Week 21 of the 2025 Major League Soccer season following a 2-1 home victory over Nashville SC. Lionel Messi played a decisive role once again, scoring a brace for the fifth consecutive match and earning MVP honors.

Rodrigo De Paul will reportedly first join on loan this summer as the Herons add a major reinforcement to the midfield.

There are 14 MLS matches taking place on Wednesday, July 16 featuring Inter Miami, Seattle Sounders FC, LA Galaxy, New York Red Bulls and others.
