Despite winning the Supporters’ Shield with 74 points after 34 matches in the Eastern Conference, Inter Miami could not advance further in the race for the MLS Cup. Recently, Lionel Messi and his teammates lost to Atlanta with a score of 2-3.
According to El Nacional, Messi responded to the defeat by encouraging Inter Miami to make another big signing. Messi is currently playing alongside former Barcelona teammates Luis Suarez, Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba.
And he wants to add Neymar, his former teammate at Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain, to strengthen the squad. It is known that El Pulga has proposed to President David Beckham to recruit the Brazilian striker.
According to El Nacional, Messi has actively contacted Neymar to convince him to join Inter Miami in the near future. Neymar himself is living through difficult days of his career.
Joining Al Hilal in the summer of 2023 for a transfer fee of up to 90 million euros, Neymar enjoys an incredible salary of around 100 million euros per year along with privileges that many players can only dream of.
Over the past year, he has only played 7 matches with 1 goal and 3 assists, a rather modest achievement compared to the high expectations that the club and fans placed on him. Having to constantly miss matches due to injuries has caused Neymar to lose himself.
And now, Al Hilal are seriously considering terminating Neymar’s contract early. Without the 32-year-old striker, Al Hilal are still unrivaled in the Saudi Arabian Premier League. Last season, they won the championship. This season, Al Hilal are leading the standings with 25 points after 9 matches.
