Inter Miami are heading into a brave new world in 2025, with Neymar a player who could potentially join the Herons.
Neymar has been linked with a move to Inter Miami with the Brazil international even buying a $26m property in Florida last month, intensifying the prospect of the soccer superstar reuniting with Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez at Chase Stadium.
However, recent reports have suggested that Neymar will return to boyhood club Santos, with the attacker set to leave Saudi Arabian side Al-Hilal and to snub Inter Miami for a quite sensational move back to Brazil.
And Neymar’s father has now commented on his son’s future amid interest from Inter Miami.
Neymar’s father doesn’t ‘know anything’ about Inter Miami move
Speaking on Roundcast, Neymar’s father commented that he isn’t aware of anything about Inter Miami, with even an exit from Al-Hilal something that isn’t on the radar with the FIFA Club World Cup coming up.
Neymar’s father said when asked about transfer interest and if the winger wants to play in the Club World Cup: “All the clubs will be there and Al-Hilal will be in this tournament, they earned this spot.
“They already have one of the biggest stars they could have to compete in this and a guy with experience in this kind of competition. That’s why they didn’t give up on the second year of Neymar’s contract. Today, Neymar has a contract until 2025. We don’t know anything.
“I see the speculation and we’ve started to prepare for it. I know the market is waiting to see how he recovers, but he always comes back better than he was. And it won’t be different.”
Neymar’s future seemingly isn’t set in stone heading into 2025
Inter Miami and Santos seem to be the two front-runners for Neymar’s signature, with an exit from Al-Hilal likely with the forward hardly playing for the Saudi Arabian side since joining last year.
And after these comments from Neymar’s father, the Inter Miami target’s future is seemingly not set in stone, with 2025 set to be a big year for the former FC Barcelona and PSG superstar.
Indeed, Inter Miami could feel confident in signing Neymar if they get down to work as soon as possible, and the winger could be tempted with a move, especially with former teammate Javier Mascherano joining as manager.
