Is Neymar's move to America becoming more likely? After Messi and Suárez, the North American league could welcome another Brazilian legend. FC Cincinnati is already in the running.

An initial exploratory contact

According to The Athletic , FC Cincinnati is no longer just dreaming: the Ohio franchise has officially begun discussions with Neymar's representatives. While the deal is still in its early stages, the intention is clear. The club is seeking to define the financial framework necessary to attract the current Santos player, whose salary demands, despite his age, remain a significant challenge.

Why does Cincinnati believe in it?

The club has strong arguments to convince the "Prodigy of Mogi das Cruzes":

1. A clear ambition: Cincinnati has established itself as one of the major players in the MLS transfer market in recent seasons.
2. The marketing effect: At 34, even if Neymar's legs are sometimes betrayed by injuries, his brand remains one of the most powerful in the world of football.
3. The Messi precedent: Inter Miami's success proves that a global star can transform a franchise overnight.

A decisive turning point for the Brazilian star

Back at his beloved Santos after a golden (but physically demanding) stint in Saudi Arabia, Neymar is at a crossroads. For MLS, signing him would be another masterstroke to solidify its status as the preferred destination for football icons.

"There's still a long way to go between a simple temperature check and signing a contract. But the signal sent by Cincinnati is strong."

The saga is only just beginning, and the coming weeks will tell if Ohio will become the new home of number 10.
