His future remains uncertain
Leo Messi’s signing for Inter Miami could lead to other prominent figures in international football considering a move to MLS. The league has experienced some setbacks in securing signings due to the financial influence of Saudi Arabian football, which has attracted top players with large offers.
With the Argentine star’s move to the United States, other teams are determined to stay competitive and are actively pursuing major signings.
Neymar placed on New York City FC’s radar
According to Mundo Deportivo, New York City FC have expressed interest in acquiring Neymar’s services. Neymar’s contract with Paris Saint-Germain is set to expire in 2025, but his future is up in the air and rumors have circulated for some time that he may leave before his contract ends.
Citing information from City Xtra and The Secret Scout, the media outlet reports that City Football Group, which owns New York City FC, has targeted the signing of the Brazilian star, who wears the No. 10 jersey.
Mundo Deportivo indicates that City Football Group has not yet approached Neymar but is believed to be considering an enticing proposal to convince him to join their team.
Is Neymar interested in MLS move?
Neymar has not ruled out the possibility of playing in MLS once his time in Europe concludes. While he is sought after by several clubs and there have been talks of a potential return to Barcelona, the Brazilian star has not closed the door on a move to the United States.
If Neymar were to join New York City FC, he would follow in the footsteps of other stars such as David Villa, Andrea Pirlo, and Frank Lampard, all of whom have played for the club.
One factor that could sway the decision in favor of City Football Group is the possibility of Neymar moving to Manchester City, a team owned by the consortium, before making the transition to the U.S. league and continuing his career outside of Europe.
