De Paul spoke about his joy to complete the agreement as part of a daring new career chapter.
“What brings me to Inter Miami is the desire to compete, win titles, write pages in the history of the club,” according to quotes from Mundo Deportivo.
“It's a club that gets good to have a long history, so that many people will follow this incredible team.”
The departure of the Paul means that Diego Simeone will renew his own midfield in Madrid after a big summer of investments in the Estadio Metropolitano.
Alex Baena, Thiago Almada and Johnny Cardoso all arrived in the Spanish capital and Simeone could all start three in 2025/26.
However, the move was not completely positive for the Paul, because he made one crucial admission over his four years in Madrid.
