Brazil international Neymar is reportedly working on a deal to rejoin Santos, returning to his boyhood club more than a decade after his multimillion-dollar transfer to Barcelona. Though a deal is not final yet,

Neymar would give MLS even more visibility in the aftermath of Lionel Messi's arrival, but he also brings considerably more baggage than his former club teammate.

If Neymar arrives in MLS, Inter Miami seemed like the logical choice due to his connections, but it appears other clubs are trying to land him

Brazil superstar and Al Hilal attacker Neymar is in preliminary talks with three MLS sides, including Chicago Fire FC, over a proposed move, sources have told ESPN.

The Chicago Fire are trying to land Neymar from Saudi club Al Hilal. However, the task will be easier said than done to bring him over.

Neymar recently claimed Kylian Mbappe was "a little jealous" of Messi when the Argentine joined PSG in 2021. The Real Madrid star has responded to those comments.

San Diego FC has announced the signing of USMNT midfielder Luca de la Torre on a 12-month loan from Celta Vigo.

Major League Soccer (MLS) side Chicago Fire had been pushing to sign Neymar, but Fabrizio Romano reports that instead he is now close to sealing a loan return to his homeland with first club Santos. Liverpool also appear to be firmly in the running for Jamie Gittens.
