Neymar leaves Al Hilal, wants higher salary than Messi when coming to Inter Miami

"Neymar will not be registered to play in the Saudi Pro League, but he can still train to participate in the AFC Champions League. Neymar is a world- class player. However, physically, he can no longer play at the level we are used to seeing," coach Jorge Jesus said at a press conference on January 17.

Neymar will decide whether to join Inter Miami with Messi or not in early 2025

This information officially confirms the recent rumors of the Saudi Arabian press are completely true, Neymar is no longer valued by Al Hilal. Playing only 2 matches per month in the AFC Champions League cannot meet the expectations of the 32-year-old Brazilian star, in the goal of regaining the best form and fitness towards the 2026 World Cup, the last major tournament in his career.

Neymar and his team are looking for solutions for a new direction for his career. Among them, negotiations to play in the US MLS are ongoing.

According to AS (Spain) and journalist Fabrizio Romano, a transfer news expert: "Neymar's group is negotiating with at least 3 clubs in MLS, the most notable of which is Inter Miami where close friends like Messi and Suarez are playing. Besides, there are Chicago Fire and Santos (Brazil). However, Neymar is leaning more towards the possibility of playing in the US."

L'Équipe (France) also said: "Neymar's father, who is also his agent, met with MLS (American professional soccer league) executives to explore possible deals for a transfer six months before Neymar's contract with Al Hilal expires. One of the main conditions set by Neymar's side in these discussions is salary, which seems to be the decisive factor in pushing the negotiations forward."

AS revealed: "Neymar's side wants a salary, in case of joining Inter Miami, to be higher than Messi's. Messi is receiving a fixed salary at Inter Miami of about 20.4 million USD per year. According to many sources, Neymar wants to receive a salary of about 30 million USD/year, plus revenue from television and other commercial rights. This is one of the issues that negotiations are underway, before the parties reach an agreement to carry out another sensational transfer of MLS, after the Messi event in July 2023".

Inter Miami, with president David Beckham and billionaire Jorge Mas, have been urging MLS to loosen salary rules so they can sign Neymar.

"This is a deal that brings the most benefits and best development for MLS, not just Inter Miami. The Messi deal has shown that. Therefore, we hope to be given the opportunity to recruit Neymar," billionaire Jorge Mas emphasized.
