Rodrigo De Paul was arguably the engine of Argentina's World Cup-winning side, covering vast ground in midfield and doing the unglamorous defensive work that allowed Messi to roam freely. His four years at Atlético Madrid under Simeone hardened him into one of the most physically relentless midfielders in international football. A move to Inter Miami in 2025 raises questions about his competitive edge at the highest level, but his chemistry with Messi — a close personal friendship as much as a footballing partnership — makes him difficult to leave out of Scaloni's plans.
