Neymar Eyes Explosive Reunion With Lionel Messi as Inter Miami Pursuit Heats Up

Inter Miami are reportedly exploring the possibility of reassembling one of football's most formidable attacking partnerships, with Neymar allegedly being targeted by the Major League Soccer club.

The 33-year-old Neymar is currently in his final two months under contract with Santos, having made his return to Brazil this past January in a bid to revitalize a career that had hit obstacles following a severe injury sustained shortly after his €90 million ($104.4 million) transfer to Al Hilal.

As he weighs his future options beyond this calendar year, Neymar might bring his skills to MLS, as the Daily Mail reports he is being evaluated by Miami's decision-makers.

While acquiring Neymar would be noteworthy on its own, such a signing would restore Barcelona's legendary 'MSN' attacking unit that previously featured Lionel Messi and Luis Suárez.

This trio of strikers reached their peak performance during the 2014–15 campaign, when they collectively netted an impressive 122 goals throughout a season that delivered both La Liga and Champions League titles.

Miami could have roster flexibility to accommodate Neymar after both Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba announced their retirements. Though Argentine midfielder Rodrigo De Paul will occupy one Designated Player position, another slot remains available for the Herons.

Discussions are ongoing with free agent defender Sergio Reguilón as Alba's potential successor, but Miami executives are seeking additional high-profile acquisitions to strengthen their roster.

A transition to MLS is believed to interest Neymar's management team during this World Cup year, though formal negotiations between both sides have not yet commenced.

No footballer has partnered with Neymar more frequently than Messi, who appeared alongside the Brazilian forward in 206 matches during their time together at both Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain.
