Beijing time on June 30, "Corriere dello Sport" stated that Messi was dissatisfied with DePaul 's high-profile show of affection and hoped that he could focus on football.
Last year, DePaul assisted Di Maria and scored the winning goal in the America's Cup final, ultimately helping Messi win his first America's Cup championship in his career. The 28-year-old DePaul is the core midfielder of the Argentina national team, but he only scored 4 goals and 1 assist in Atletico last season.
The court was frustrated, but DePaul was proud in love. After DePaul broke up with his girlfriend who just gave birth to a son last year, he fell in love with the famous Argentinian singer Tiny. Now the two are still in love, and DePaul frequently posts high-profile messages on his social account with 4 million fans. Show affection.
However, De Paul’s approach made both Argentinian teammate Messi and Atletico Madrid coach Simeone dissatisfied. On a program, reporter Lucic said: "Messi and another player have talked with DePaul, hoping that the other party will keep a low profile." The Argentine international players are all on Messi's side, because this is very likely to be Messi. In the last World Cup, I hope DePaul can focus on football and show his best condition to play in the World Cup.
Another reporter Karina added: "Simone was also unhappy with the situation and De Paul was told: 'You can do what you want, but please don't show too much.'"
It is understood , Mourinho wants to introduce DePaul to Roma this summer. Atletico Madrid wants 35 million euros, which is the price Atletico Madrid introduced from Udinese last year. However, considering DePaul's performance in La Liga last season, 35 million euros is a bit high. Of course, DePaul's worth in the "German Transfer Market" is still 40 million euros.
