De Paul is one of today's top defensive midfielders. Over the past four seasons, he played 187 games for Atletico Madrid, including 134 in La Liga and 32 in the Champions League. He was named to the La Liga Team of the Season for 2024-2025.

For the Argentinian national team, De Paul is renowned as Messi's "bodyguard." He was instrumental in helping the 38-year-old forward secure four international titles in four years: the 2021 and 2024 Copa America, the 2022 CONMEBOL–UEFA Cup of Champions (formerly known as the Intercontinental Cup), and the 2022 World Cup. De Paul was named to the Team of the Tournament in both Copa America victories.

De Paul's arrival this summer is expected to bolster Inter Miami's midfield, further enabling Messi's brilliance on the field.
