It is reported that De Paul managed to convince the club's management to make the deal permanent, although Leo Messi, who holds significant influence within the squad, also played a key role in persuading the decision-makers.
As a result, Inter will pay Atlético Madrid around $17 million, and this winter De Paul will officially become a Miami player.
De Paul joined Inter Miami this summer on loan. During this period, he featured in 23 matches, scoring 2 goals and providing 7 assists, and was one of the key figures in Inter's MLS triumph.
