US paper reports MLS club interest in Neymar | OneFootball

With a contract valid until the end of the year with Santos, Neymar has attracted interest from Major League Soccer. According to The Athletic, FC Cincinnati has begun contacting the No. 10’s representatives regarding a possible move to sign him.

The talks are still at an early stage, and the club is initially assessing Neymar’s interest in playing in the United States, as well as the demands made by the star’s camp.

A possible complication for the deal is that FC Cincinnati no longer has any open designated player (DP) spots on its roster, as Kévin Denkey, Miles Robinson, and Brazilian midfielder Evander already occupy the available slots.

In MLS, clubs are allowed to sign up to three players who exceed the league’s salary cap; these are known as designated players.
