This has reignited speculation about his potential move to Inter Miami to reunite with former Barcelona and PSG teammate Lionel Messi. According to the Wall Street Journal, a representative for the buyer mentioned that the “privacy and security of the gated community” were significant factors in Neymar’s decision, emphasising it was “exactly” what he was looking for.
Neymar’s potential move to Inter Miami?

The 32-year-old was signed from Paris Saint-Germain for a staggering €90 million during the summer transfer window of 2023. With January approaching, the MLS team is reportedly preparing to submit a formal offer to secure his services.
Challenges ahead for the brazilian
Despite the excitement surrounding Neymar’s potential transfer, there are hurdles to overcome. Sources indicate that Inter Miami currently lacks the financial resources necessary for a substantial deal. If Neymar’s contract with Al-Hilal ends in June 2025, there’s a possibility of him reuniting with former FC Barcelona legends Messi, Sergio Busquets, Luis Suarez, and Jordi Alba. Nevertheless, the club remains determined to pursue the Brazilian talent.
Fans eager for the reunion
The prospect of Neymar donning an Inter Miami jersey in 2025 has stirred excitement among football fans, particularly after Saudi journalist Tariq Al Nofal’s revelations. However, it’s important to note that the reunion of Messi, Suarez, and Neymar in MLS is not yet a certainty. For fans fortunate enough to witness their incredible chemistry at Barcelona, the idea of them reuniting on the pitch is exhilarating.
Messi has already gathered his former Barcelona teammates—Luis Suarez, Jordi Alba, and Sergio Busquets—since moving to MLS last year, while Neymar’s name has frequently surfaced in connection with the club. Together, Neymar, Messi, and Suarez formed the iconic ‘MSN’ trio, leading the Catalan giants to numerous titles both domestically and in Europe.
Neymar’s return to action
Neymar has recently returned to action with Al-Hilal after a lengthy spell on the sidelines due to a serious knee injury. Since joining the Saudi club in August 2023, he has made only six appearances, highlighting the difficulties he has faced since the transfer.
What’s next for Neymar?
As Neymar’s future with Al-Hilal hangs in the balance, his contract is set to expire at the end of the season. Reports suggest that Al-Hilal is exploring a record-breaking move for Real Madrid’s Vinicius Jr as a potential replacement for Neymar if he decides to leave. The coming months will be crucial in determining Neymar’s next steps, as fans eagerly await the possibility of witnessing another chapter in his illustrious career—possibly in the vibrant atmosphere of Major League Soccer.
