Welcome to the United States, Neymar Jr's unexpected decision to join MLS and face Messi

Neymar is one of the biggest stars in world football today. In addition, the Brazilian has worn the PSG shirt for six seasons and is aiming for the long-awaited Champions League. However, an MLS club is interested in signing the forward of the Brazilian team to be able to rival Lionel Messi in the local league and make the games more attractive.

Initially, according to information from GOAL, New York City FC would be interested in hiring the number 10 of the Brazilian team in order to compete with Messi's Inter Miami. The arrival of Neymar would cause a media impact and would leave the local league with two international soccer stars. Another interesting point is that the salary offered to Neymar would be more than 122 million reais per year.

Currently, Neymar has a contract with PSG until June 2027 and the star has said on several occasions that he wants to continue wearing the Parisian club's shirt. However, PSG fans are unhappy with the forward for his absence at the end of the season, as Neymar has suffered from injuries in recent years and has been absent from the team on several occasions.

Neymar continues to recover

The Brazilian ace suffered an injury to his right ankle and had to undergo surgery. The athlete is in the final phase of recovery and should return to the pitch at the beginning of the 2023/2024 season with a view to winning the Champions League. However, coach Luis Enrique has already stated that he will only wear the number 10 if he is delivering high-level football and is regular this season.
