Neymar: Would Be 'Incredible' to Join Lionel Messi, Luis Suárez with Inter Miami

Neymar is open to reuniting with former Barcelona teammates Lionel Messi and Luis Suárez on Inter Miami.

The Brazilian star told CNN Sport's Amanda Davies that joining the pair in MLS "would be incredible."

"They are my friends," he said. "We still speak to each other. It would be interesting to revive this trio. I'm happy at Al-Hilal, I'm happy in Saudi Arabia, but who knows. Football is full of surprises."

Over the years, MLS has been derided as a "retirement league" because it would sign aging stars in an effort to cash in on their popularity and the credibility they established on the pitch. While that label doesn't apply as much anymore, Inter Miami signing not just Messi and Suárez but also Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba certainly didn't help.

As much as they've surrounded Messi with his friends from Barça, Neymar might be where the Herons would draw a line, assuming they could even make it work under MLS' salary cap system.

The 32-year-old's last appearance in a Saudi Pro League match for Al-Hilal was back in September 2023. He suffered a torn ACL that October on national team duty, and his recovery has been slowed by a series of lesser injuries.

There was a period when Neymar was the brightest young talent in world football. His career has never been the same since he left Barcelona and signed with Paris Saint-Germain in 2017, though. The ACL injury raised even bigger questions about what lies ahead.

As an attraction, Neymar would likely bring Inter Miami and MLS even more attention than they're already receiving. As a sporting endeavor, this wouldn't be a wise investment.
