Neymar’s Potential Move to MLS in Question, Says Inter Miami Coach
Recent speculation about Neymar possibly joining Lionel Messi in Major League Soccer (MLS) has been met with skepticism by Inter Miami head coach Gerardo Martino. He has pointed out that the league’s salary cap constraints are likely to pose significant hurdles for any potential transfer involving the Brazilian star.
On a recent occasion, Martino commented, “With Messi and the other players here, anything is possible. However, I struggle to envision how the team would manage to bring in Neymar if the league doesn’t ease its salary restrictions.” This perspective was shared in a discussion covered by ESPN’s Lizzy Becherano.
Martino elaborated further, stating that while media discussions about player transfers are prevalent, the practical implementation of such moves hinges heavily on the MLS’s regulatory framework. “When it comes to the MLS, the rules are stringent and are not easily circumvented unless the league itself opts to modify them,” he added.
Neymar is currently under contract with Al Hilal in the Saudi Pro League, where he signed a lucrative deal that extends through 2025 and is reportedly valued at a staggering $300 million. To facilitate this move, Al Hilal paid a transfer fee of $100 million to Paris Saint-Germain, where Neymar previously played. The rumors regarding Neymar’s potential interest in MLS emerged following his recent acquisition of property in the Miami area, sparking curiosity among fans and analysts alike.
As the situation develops, further updates and insights are anticipated to shed light on any future moves involving the celebrated forward.
