Chicago Fire tackles Neymar

The Neymar case continues to be talked about and fueled by the Brazilian and Saudi press. It must be said that since his departure from PSG, the Brazilian star has not been talked about at all on the pitch. Victim of a ruptured cruciate knee ligament just after his arrival at Al-Hilal, the 32-year-old was unable to play in his new colors – or almost. After more than a year of absence, he played 2 other matches before getting injured and disappearing from the field again.

A huge blow, one more for him and for his club which continues to pay a fortune for his contract. Neymar, for example, received 101 million euros for the year 2024 having only played 2 matches, for a total of 42 minutes of play, or around 2.4 million euros per minute played. Enough to seriously call his future into question as he reaches the end of his contract next June. For several months, rumors have been numerous about his future destination while he has not hidden his desire to compete in the 2026 World Cup in the United States.

A 2 year contract

A return to Santos had been mentioned for a time but also and above all the path leading to MLS and Inter Miami. But David Beckham’s club, which did not hide its desire to attract him, above all recalled that with the rules of MLS and the salary cap, it was impossible to bring him in under these conditions, especially with Messi, Suarez, Busquets and Alba in the squad. And other clubs therefore want to benefit from it. According to our information, Neymar is currently talking with the Chicago Fire club.

The MLS club wants to strike hard and acquire the Brazilian this January. Discussions exist with the player and concern a two-year contract. But for the moment nothing has been decided or made concrete. This is only the beginning of the talks and so there is still a long way to go for the MLS Eastern Conference club. The future of Neymar has not stopped talking but the path leading to the United States, which will also organize the next World Cup, is more and more concrete.
