Neymar: The outrageous request from his entourage to facilitate his arrival in the MLS

Neymar Jr. seems to be running out of time in Saudi Arabian football, which he joined in 2023 as a 'top' and exciting addition for Al-Hilal. However, he has not been able to show his true potential due to numerous injuries that have limited his participation to only seven matches and 428 minutes, in which he has scored one goal and provided three assists.

These numbers are quite disappointing and do not meet the expectations of the Arab club nor his high salary. 'Ney' is one of the highest-paid players in the Saudi Pro League, earning approximately €100 million per season.

With his contract with Al-Hilal set to expire on June 30, it is not surprising that speculation is beginning to arise about the possible destinations that Neymar is considering to continue his career. It should be noted that the forward has expressed his desire to extend his career to arrive in optimal condition for the 2026 World Cup with the Brazilian national team.

Among the destinations that have been most strongly rumored for Neymar Jr. is Major League Soccer, where there has been speculation about a possible signing by Inter Miami, a team that already includes Leo Messi and Luis Suárez. This trio could recreate the iconic 'MSN'. However, the arrival of the '10' from the 'Canarinha' to 'The Herons' feels like a utopia due to the salary cap imposed by the North American league.

Neymar Jr. to Chicago Fire?

Despite this, it has been mentioned that Neymar Jr. could join another team in Major League Soccer. According to 'L'Équipe', 'Ney's' father and his advisor, Pini Zahavi, are exploring the option for him to join Chicago Fire, with the idea that the player starts the season with the Illinois team in February.

However, Neymar Jr.'s incorporation to Chicago Fire could be complicated due to the demands of the forward's father, who acts as his agent and manages his financial interests.

Furthermore, according to the aforementioned source, Neymar Sr. would have requested that the former FC Barcelona player receive at least the same salary as Leo Messi, who, according to the MLS Players Association, earns a total of $20.4 million per season with Inter Miami. Additionally, regarding 'Ney's' arrival at 'The Fire', other undisclosed non-sporting demands have been raised.
