Official, he rejects PSG's offer and signs for Barça: 'New Rodrigo De Paul'

Rodrigo De Paul has become one of the key figures in La Liga, and Barça has clearly positioned itself to sign a midfielder with a similar style. In fact, Barça has finalized the signing of the new Rodrigo De Paul, as they have reached an agreement to bring in a pivot who will turn down PSG. It's never easy to compete against PSG,  the current Champions League champion, but  Flick's Barça is appealing and attractive, proof of this is that players want to come.

Meanwhile, Rodrigo De Paul will leave Atlético de Madrid after several seasons as an essential pillar of Cholo Simeone's squad. Rodrigo De Paul will pack his bags for Inter Miami, where he will join other Barça legends like Luis Suárez and Leo Messi himself, who will renew his contract with the North American team. Meanwhile, Barça is moving on from Rodrigo De Paul and focusing on his future replacement in Spain: Flick already has a pivot to start working with.

It wasn't one of the priorities, but the new Rodrigo De Paul became available and Joan Laporta pulled the trigger to finalize his signing. Barça's transfer market has been quite good, although the feeling is bittersweet after the "setback" caused by Nico Williams, who ended up renewing his contract until 2031. Despite the tough blow, Barça has replied by signing the new Rodrigo De Paul, who will say goodbye to PSG to join Hansi Flick's squad this summer.

Official, turns down PSG's offer and signs for Barça: "New Rodrigo De Paul"

Barça has finalized the signing of the new Rodrigo De Paul, who will set aside PSG's offer to join Hansi Flick's squad, the German head coach. Barça didn't expect to sign a defensive midfielder, but the new Rodrigo De Paul has emerged as a real option and Joan Laporta has decided to go for his signing. The truth is that the player's price has been key, especially because Barça, due to their financial situation, is forced to sign "low cost" profiles that could explode soon.

That being said, PSG already knows they're missing out on the player who most resembles Rodrigo De Paul, who will ultimately play for Barça next season. Meanwhile, Atlético de Madrid has finalized the signing of Rodrigo De Paul's replacement: Thiago Almada, an attacking midfielder who arrives from Botafogo after a stint at Lyon.

Goodbye PSG, hello Barça: future Rodrigo De Paul is clear, he'll be a culer

PSG and Barça have battled for the signing of the new Rodrigo De Paul, who will ultimately wear Barça's colors. This player has preferred to sign for Barça, mainly because of Flick's project, which is generating excitement despite being only a year old. Luis Enrique already knows he won't be able to count on the future Rodrigo De Paul, as he has chosen the FC Barcelona offer, led by Joan Laporta and Deco.

The new Rodrigo De Paul is Kevin Castaño, a Colombian defensive pivot who will join Barça after turning down PSG's offer. Castaño will join the culer club with a reserve team contract and is expected to take part in preseason with Hansi Flick's team.

According to reports from Argentina, Barça has been following this promising Colombian player from River Plate for several months, whose market value is close to 8 million euros.
