Lionel Messi registered his fifth straight multigoal game, propelling Miami to the top of ESPN's MLS Power Rankings.

Argentine midfielder Rodrigo De Paul has agreed to contract terms with Inter Miami, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press on Wednesday. The 31-year-old De Paul will leave Atlético Madrid — where he's played for four years — for Major League Soccer on a short-term contract with Inter Miami that could potentially lead to a multiyear deal.

Rodrigo De Paul will reportedly first join on loan this summer as the Herons add a major reinforcement to the midfield.

There are 14 MLS matches taking place on Wednesday, July 16 featuring Inter Miami, Seattle Sounders FC, LA Galaxy, New York Red Bulls and others.

Lionel Messi became the first player in Major League Soccer history with four consecutive multi-goal games, scoring twice to lead Inter Miami past the New England Revolution 2-1.

For first-time home buyers, entering the Miami real estate market can be both exhilarating and overwhelming. The city’s iconic blend of coastal beauty, cosmopolitan living, and diverse neighborhoods makes it a standout destination for property investment.

Major League Soccer's summer transfer window, the league's most important time for buying and selling players, opens Thursday. It aligns with the European offseason, so more global players are available (and available at good prices) than at any other time of the year.
