Neymar Considering Inter Miami Move Ahead of 2026 World Cup

Neymar, 33, may leave Santos after an injury-plagued season with the club struggling at 16th in Brazil’s league. With his contract ending in December, the Brazilian star is eyeing a move to Inter Miami to reunite with Messi and Suarez, hoping to revive his career and earn a Brazil recall before the 2026 World Cup.

When the football world least expected it, Neymar has reportedly ‘opened the door’ for a sensational transfer that could reunite him with Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez at Inter Miami. The 33-year-old Brazilian returned to Santos earlier in 2025 after an unsuccessful spell with Al Hilal in Saudi Arabia, but his second stint at his boyhood club has been disappointing. Santos currently sit 16th in the Brazilian league, narrowly above the relegation zone, while Neymar’s season has again been marred by injuries.

His contract expires in December, leaving him a free agent in 2026, and with the World Cup on the horizon, he is eager to regain form and rejoin Brazil’s squad under Carlo Ancelotti. Reports from Spain’s Sport suggest that European clubs have shown little interest in signing him, leaving Neymar to choose between a short-term Santos extension or a move to the MLS.

Inter Miami, home to Messi, Suarez, Jordi Alba, and Sergio Busquets, are considering bringing him in as a designated player. With Rodrigo De Paul set to occupy one of those slots, Neymar could fill the remaining one. The potential move, if finalized, would reunite the legendary Barcelona trio that once dominated European football.
