The 31-year-old star is officially Messi's club teammate after Inter Miami announced De Paul's arrival on Friday. It's a reunion for the two Argentina stars who led the Albiceleste to the 2022 World Cup title in Qatar.

While fans were buzzing about the reunion, David Beckham, co-owner of Inter Miami, offered a deeper explanation for the decision to bring De Paul. Inter Miami’s latest move in the transfer market has once again made headlines—and it’s not just because of the player’s reputation.

Inter Miami isn’t just riding a wave, it’s been completely reshaped by the Messi phenomenon. Since the Argentine superstar Lionel Messi landed in South Florida, the club has exploded in both relevance and revenue.
