No matter how much you love Neymar as a player and superstar, his stay in Saudi Arabia has been a big deal. The Brazilian has cashed in an annual salary of around €138 million, since his transfer from PSG in 2023, Neymar has either been injured or on holiday. The club has got 7 games with the world star – and 1 poor goal. You’d think clubs are no longer willing to throw money at what was once one of the world’s very best, but the time of surprise is clearly not over.
Several Brazilian clubs have closed the door on Neymar under the motto: “We are a football club, not a hospital”. In the United States, a club management and owner sits with stars in their eyes: Neymar signing must be the best investment!
According to Foot Mercato, MLS club Chicago Fire are prepared to offer him a way away from Saudi and are now talking to Neymar about a two-year contract. The Chicago-based team wants to make “a big splash” and land a contract with the former Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain player.
Talks are in the early stages of what could be a long process to land a contract with Neymar.
A move to the United States would help him prepare for the 2026 World Cup, which the Brazilian aims to play in.
