Neymar Jr. is one of the best players in the world, and certainly one of the most enigmatic stars in the world of sport. He has been playing for Paris Saint Germain after leaving FC Barcelona back in 2017. Surprisingly, he has ambitions to play in a few other countries as well.

In a recent interview with Football Espana, Neymar Jr talked about his future in the sport. The Brazilian star is still only 30 and is playing at the highest level for PSG; but his contract does expire in 2025. Neymar revealed that he was excited to return to play in Santos FC, his first club. Moreover, he also entertained the possibility of playing in the MLS.

“I’m excited to return to play in Santos. What I really miss is playing in my town. My god. That stadium is marvellous. I am also excited to play in the United States. For at least one season,” Neymar said.

Neymar’s possible future in the MLS

Neymar won’t be the first star playing in Europe with Napoli’s Lorenzo Insigne making the switch in the January transfer window. However, this will certainly be MLS’s biggest transfer in the competition’s history if it does happen, similar in stature to David Beckham’s move to LA Galaxy.

Beckham does own a club in the MLS currently, Inter Miami FC, meaning the club have sufficient financial backing. It’ll be interesting to see Neymar play for a big franchise like that, as no matter where he goes, his fans will follow.

Neymar Jr and his numbers at Paris Saint Germain

Neymar has had an injury-plagued season this year as he got injured playing in a Ligue 1 match for PSG. As a result, he has only played 11 league matches this season, scoring four goals and assisting three more.
