As the transfer window heats up in both Argentina and the United States, Inter Miami is making headlines with a potential move for Brazilian star Neymar. The prospect of Neymar joining Lionel Messi at the MLS club is sparking excitement, especially with the club’s participation in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup generating considerable buzz among fans.

Inter Miami’s Ambitious Plans for 2025

The arrival of former Argentina international Javier Mascherano as head coach has created the perfect environment for building around Messi, and the addition of Neymar would further strengthen the club's roster. Jorge Más, the owner of Inter Miami, has made it clear that he is interested in bringing Neymar to Florida.

“If the opportunity arises to sign someone of his caliber, we won’t hesitate,” Más said in a recent interview. However, he emphasized that the decision is not solely in his hands. “It doesn’t depend on me alone, but also on him and his league,” he added.

Neymar’s Future at Al-Hilal Remains Uncertain

Neymar’s current contract with Al-Hilal complicates the situation. The Saudi Arabian club is also gearing up for the World Club Cup and has every intention of retaining the Brazilian forward. However, recent rumors suggest that Neymar might leave Al-Hilal, which has fueled speculation about a potential move to Inter Miami.

"The key word is whether he will be available. At this moment, he is a player for Al-Hilal. We’ve always said we aspire to bring great stars to our team. Although we have many contractual limitations, our budget is limitless. We are ambitious," said Jorge Más, highlighting the club’s willingness to pursue high-profile signings.

Messi’s Dream of Reuniting with Neymar

For Messi, the idea of playing alongside Neymar again is particularly exciting. The two shared an exceptional partnership at Barcelona, and the possibility of rekindling that chemistry in Miami would undoubtedly be a major boost for both players and the club.

Key Points About Inter Miami’s Pursuit of Neymar
