2025 is shaping up to be a huge year for Inter Miami, with Neymar a superstar player who could end up making the move to Florida.
The Brazil international has been rumored with an exit from Al-Hilal in the January transfer window, with Neymar also fueling speculation on a move to Inter Miami by buying a $26m property in Florida last month.
Although Neymar currently looks set to sign for Santos, Inter Miami are seemingly still in the race to sign the former FC Barcelona superstar, who could be keen on joining the Herons if an offer was to be made in the coming weeks.
And Inter Miami owner Jorge Mas has now shared his opinion on Neymar moving to Chase Stadium.
Inter Miami open to Neymar signing if he becomes available
Speaking to GiveMeSport, Mas shared that Inter Miami would jump at the chance to sign Neymar if the former PSG winger became available, with Al-Hilal yet to officially indicate that the Brazil international will be leaving in January.
With Mas also noting that Inter Miami would have the funds to sign Neymar, the Herons could be a realistic option for the superstar attacker if he were to leave Saudi Arabia next month, with the Florida franchise ready to pounce.
Mas said when asked if Neymar is a target: “The key word is if he were to become available. He is an Al-Hilal player now. He’s not available to us. I have always said we aspire to bring great players to our team. We have a lot of roster limitations and restrictions, but we have an unlimited budget.
“We are aspirational. If there is ever a chance to bring the caliber of a player like Neymar, we will not hesitate. It doesn’t depend only on me. It depends on the player and the league. But yes, we aspire to build a great roster here.”
Neymar transfer has to be a priority for Javier Mascherano
Javier Mascherano’s appointment as Inter Miami manager has opened the door for the Herons to make a number of potential superstar signings given the former Argentina defender’s reputation in soccer.
And with Mascherano a former teammate of Neymar’s during their Barcelona days, the former Liverpool star has to make signing the Brazil international a priority for Inter Miami given how big a deal of this magnitude would be.
Indeed, Neymar alongside Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez one last time would be the stuff of dreams for soccer fans, and for Inter Miami, it could be the missing ingredient in going all the way in MLS Cup this time next year.
