De Paul on his Inter Miami debut. |
De Paul, 31, has spent four seasons at Atletico Madrid, making 187 appearances and being named in La Liga's Team of the Season last season. However, his decision to move to what is considered a second-tier league like MLS has drawn criticism.
TyC Sports frankly asked: "Does De Paul want to play football without pressure, just to enjoy life next to Messi?". The Argentine newspaper said that De Paul did not mind participating in a less prestigious tournament, where winning or losing does not seem to matter.
Meanwhile, Ole newspaper commented: "De Paul's decision surprised everyone. He chose to play alongside Messi."
In addition to criticism from the domestic media, Atletico fans were also unhappy with De Paul's decision to leave. Many expressed their anger on social media with comments such as: "Thank you for leaving and don't come back", or "If you leave, don't come back".
Atletico fans also believe that De Paul lacks ambition and is complacent. The Argentine international is considered to still have enough strength to compete at the top level for a few more years.
De Paul becomes the third player from the 2022 World Cup winning squad to move to MLS, following Thiago Almada and Lionel Messi. He also becomes the 18th World Cup winner in history to join the league.
