As Neymar Jr.’s contract with Al-Hilal winds down next June, speculation over his next move intensifies. The Brazilian star, plagued by injuries since his arrival in Saudi Arabia, now finds himself at the center of fresh rumors following a significant statement by Inter Miami’s president, Jorge Mas.
Neymar, who joined Al-Hilal for a staggering €90 million on a two-year deal, was expected to elevate the Saudi league to new heights. However, injuries, including a serious ligament and meniscus issue in October 2023, have limited him to just seven matches and a single goal. While his father has kept the door open for multiple possibilities, emphasizing Neymar’s newfound freedom to choose his future, the player’s next move remains uncertain.
A return to his boyhood club Santos has been a recurring theme, but the allure of Inter Miami cannot be ignored. Jorge Mas has expressed his desire to reform the legendary MSN trio from Barcelona, with Neymar being the missing piece. “If Neymar becomes available, we won’t hesitate,” Mas declared, adding, “We aspire to build a great team here. Bringing a player of his caliber depends on the league, the player, and the timing, but our ambition is unlimited.”
With Lionel Messi and Sergio Busquets already lighting up the MLS, Neymar’s potential move to Miami could further bolster the club’s star power. As his contract expiration approaches, all eyes will be on the Brazilian, who now has the freedom to decide the next chapter of his storied career.
