According to the US media givemesport, Miami International will introduce Argentine midfielder De Paul by loan and buyout.

Previously, Miami International was interested in DePaul, whose contract expires next summer. Sources revealed to givemesport that Atletico Madrid will renew his contract with DePaul for one year and then loan him to Miami International for one season. At the same time, Miami International obtained De Paul's buyout right, with a buyout fee of US$17 million (about 15 million euros), plus a bonus.

After joining Miami International, DePaul will not be a designated player of the American League (3 players per team), because Miami International's current three designated player quotas have been used up, namely Messi, Alba and Busquets. But Busquets' contract expires at the end of this year. If Miami International chooses to buy out DePaul in the future, he can use him as a designated player.

DePaul's transfer will become one of the most expensive signings in the history of the UEFA. The current record of the UEFA is that Atlanta United signed forward Lat for $22 million in February this year. Once DePaul joins, the probability of Miami International entering the playoffs this season will be greatly increased.
