Rodrigo De Paul joins Inter Miami on a blockbuster deal, trading LaLiga for MLS glory with a salary that reflects his World Cup pedigree and the club’s soaring ambitions. Check all about his contract.
Rodrigo De Paul’s move to Inter Miami has turned heads across the soccer world. The Argentine midfielder, a World Cup champion, joins a roster already filled with global icons, reshaping the club’s ambitions in the MLS.
His arrival is more than just a sporting addition. His transfer has stirred speculation over the financial side of the deal, with many eager to know how much the Florida franchise invested to secure his talent.
Exact numbers remain under wraps, but the signing speaks volumes about Inter Miami’s commitment to attracting top-tier players, making him one of the most talked-about names in the league this season.
What is Rodrigo de Paul’s salary with Inter Miami?
Reports indicate that upon making his move permanent, Rodrigo De Paul will earn a €10 million annual salary in Inter Miami, a level above the €7.5 million he was reportedly receiving at Atletico Madrid, according to AS.
That translates to roughly $11 million‑$12 million USD per year under prevailing exchange rates and before bonuses. It’s a salary befitting a world‑cup winner and reflects Inter’s intent to show financial muscle.
During his initial loan period—structured to fit MLS Designated Player rules—Madrid is said to cover the majority of his wages, with Miami taking on full salary obligations only after the buy‑out is activated.
Rodrigo De Paul’s contract: Unpacking the details
Inter Miami sealed a deal worth approximately €15 million (≈ $17.5 million) to acquire Rodrigo De Paul from Atlético Madrid, scoped as a four‑year contract running through 2029 or end of 2028—depending on seasonal reckoning.
Terms include an initial loan through the end of 2025, allowing MLS roster flexibility. That loan period transitions into an obligation to buy, converting him into a full-time Inter Miami player under a long-term agreement.
Atletico reportedly extended his contract briefly to permit a €15 million purchase in 2026, consistent with internal rule structures and remaining obligations toward Madrid, according to official sources.
How long will Rodrigo De Paul stay in Inter Miami?
Rodrigo De Paul’s deal spans four seasons, effectively tying him to Inter Miami until 2029, with the calendar years running 2025, 2026, 2027 and 2028 (Major League Soccer seasons).
Even though the transfer was structured initially as a loan, the obligation-to-buy makes him part of the core squad long-term—and keeps him involved past the 2026 FIFA World Cup cycle through at least the 2028 campaign cycle.
This four-year arrangement underscores Miami’s strategy: securing continuity among elite players like Messi, Busquets, Alba—and positioning him as a central piece in a sustained push for MLS dominance.
