Experienced headCentral midfielder

R. De Paul is a 32-year-old central midfielder at Inter Miami, enjoying a standout season — 1 goals and 4 assists in 17 appearances, a Season grade of 19, top 64% of Major League Soccer central midfielders. On long-term scout potential he's rated 16.3, ranking 453rd of 513 in the Major League Soccer. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option (41.2% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.68 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Paul.

Judged on this season alone, Paul graded 19 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 54th of 84 of the 84 central midfielders in the Major League Soccer, on 1 goal, 4 assists and 1.679 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 38 → 19). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 16, 75th of 84 of the 84 central midfielders in the Major League Soccer. At 32 Paul is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

1.68 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 17 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.31 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 41.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.68 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Age curve. At 32, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 16.3, Paul carries the 75th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Major League Soccer of 84. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.68 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
