Neymar approached over move to MLS side | OneFootball

Neymar’s camp has been contacted regarding a possible transfer to FC Cincinnati of MLS.

According to a report published by The Athletic this Thursday (9), the talks are at an early stage.

The U.S. club still wants to assess the player’s interest and what his demands would be before moving forward with negotiations.

Neymar’s contract with Santos runs until the end of this year.

Just before returning to Peixe at the start of 2025, Chicago Fire, also from MLS, had been in concrete negotiations to sign the Brazilian.

Also according to The Athletic, the U.S. league remains interested in bringing in global stars after Lionel Messi’s commercial success at Inter Miami.

In search of the World Cup

At the moment, expectations surrounding Neymar are focused on a possible trip to the World Cup.

Santos still have 11 matches scheduled before Carlo Ancelotti’s call-up, giving the No. 10 a chance to convince the Italian that he deserves an opportunity.
