Brazilian forward Neymar said reuniting with his former Barcelona teammates Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez at Inter Miami is an interesting prospect and did not rule out a move to the United States as his Al Hilal contract winds down.
Once one of football’s most feared forwards, Neymar struck up a lethal partnership with Messi and Suarez to lead Barcelona to a historic treble before his record-breaking 222 million euros ($230.39m) move to Paris St Germain in 2017.
“Obviously, playing again with Messi and Suarez would be incredible. They are my friends, we still speak to each other,” Neymar told CNN.
“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.”
Neymar has played only seven times for Al Hilal since moving from PSG for a reported fee of 90m euros in 2023, with injuries keeping the Brazilian sidelined for long periods. His contract is up in June.
Neymar is Brazil’s all-time top scorer with 79 goals and the 32-year-old said he would have one last shot at World Cup glory in 2026.
With six rounds left in the South American qualifiers where the top six automatically qualify, Brazil are fifth in the standings.
“I will try, I want to be there. I will do everything I can to be part of the national team,” said Neymar.
