Revealed: When Inter Miami Plan to Move for Neymar as MLS Side Eyes ‘MSN’ Reunion with Messi & Suarez
Inter Miami is reportedly plotting an ambitious move to reunite Neymar with Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez, reviving the legendary ‘MSN’ trio from their Barcelona days.
The Plan
Brazilian forward Neymar, currently with Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal, could be on Inter Miami’s radar for a blockbuster transfer. Reports from Spain suggest the MLS outfit may make their approach either in January 2025 or after the FIFA Club World Cup next summer. Neymar’s contract with Al-Hilal runs until 2025, but his injury setbacks in Saudi Arabia have fueled speculation about his next destination.
The Bigger Picture
Inter Miami has openly expressed interest in marquee signings, particularly following the success of Lionel Messi’s move to MLS. The idea of Neymar joining Messi and Suarez in Florida has long been rumored, with co-owner Jorge Mas reportedly still considering the Brazilian as a realistic target.
While Neymar has publicly stated he is happy in Saudi Arabia, Inter Miami has not ruled out the possibility of bringing him to MLS. However, logistical challenges, such as the team’s limited Designated Player spots, could force Miami to prioritize Neymar over other potential targets like Antoine Griezmann.
Did You Know?
The famed ‘MSN’ trio—Messi, Suarez, and Neymar—scored over 300 goals together during their time at Barcelona, helping the club secure the treble in 2015. If reunited, they could become a global attraction in MLS.
What’s Next?
Inter Miami will carefully time their move, potentially coinciding with Neymar’s contract expiration or leveraging the off-season to finalize a deal. Meanwhile, Messi is reportedly in discussions to extend his stay at the club through 2026, further solidifying Miami’s position as a hub for footballing superstars.
