If Neymar arrives in MLS, Inter Miami seemed like the logical choice due to his connections, but it appears other clubs are trying to land him

Neymar is reportedly refusing to move to the MLS after an outrageous ‘contract demand’ has emerged. Neymar, 32, is currently in the final year of his contract at Al Hilal, with his deal set to expire in June 2025.

It has been claimed by multiple sources over recent weeks that one of the United States franchises in the mix along with Chicago Fire is David Beckham co-owned Inter Miami, the current club of Neymar's former teammates Lionel Messi, Sergio Busquets, Luis Suarez and new head coach Javier Mascherano.

Brazil superstar and Al Hilal attacker Neymar is in preliminary talks with three MLS sides, including Chicago Fire FC, over a proposed move, sources have told ESPN.

But sources with ESPN in Brazil have tempered expectations over a move to MLS for Neymar, adding that if he were to play in the U.S., he still held out hope of signing with Inter Miami.

Neymar’s much-anticipated reunion with Lionel Messi at Inter Miami could be on the rock with the shock news that another MLS franchise is moving to sign the Brazil international attack.
