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

Inter Miami is also signing Rodrigo De Paul for his abilities on the pitch. The team’s defensive system remains one of the weakest in the league and often struggles against opponents with strong midfields and quick attackers—like FC Cincinnati’s Evander, who scored twice against Miami just a few rounds ago.

Lionel Messi has no shortage of motivation in 2025. His Inter Miami CF won the Supporters' Shield last season, setting an MLS single-season record for points in the process, before being humbly knocked out of the playoffs in Round 1.

With braces from Lionel Messi, Telasco Segovia and a goal from Jordi Alba, the win brought Miami to 41 points in 21 games, and kept them in the running for the top of MLS and the Eastern Conference, ahead of next week’s match against FC Cincinnati.

Inter Miami has suffered its first MLS loss since May as FC Cincinnati defeated the Herons 3-0 at the TQL Stadium. Javier Mascherano's team has gone 12 MLS games without a clean sheet. Lionel Messi did not score for Inter Miami for the first time after six straight games with goals in the MLS.
