Brazilian star
Although some sources speculated about his retirement, Neymar himself assures that he is not finished yet and that he wants to get ready to play in the 2026 World Cup. One of his natural destinations could be Inter Miami, where he would be surrounded by former Barcelona teammates and could rebuild the ‘MSN’ trident with Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez.
While Javier Mascherano, the team’s new coach and Neymar’s former teammate at Barcelona, almost completely ruled out his arrival, a yes from the Brazilian could change everything.
Is Neymar’s arrival at Inter Miami feasible?
In a press conference after the presentation of Inter Miami’s 2025 calendar, Mascherano said that “at the moment it is difficult to talk about this issue” because “there is nothing to say”.
The reason would be the issue of the salary cap, so the club would have to make adjustments in terms of its foreign players and their respective salaries to make room for him on the roster
However, Neymar himself did not rule out the possibility of reuniting with his former teammates, with the motivation to get into a high level of competition soon to get in good shape for what would be his last World Cup:
It would be incredible. They are my friends, we still talk to each other. It would be interesting to revive that trident. I’m happy at Al-Hilal, I’m happy in Saudi Arabia, but who knows?

And he concluded: “Football is full of surprises”.
