In reality, the deal seems doomed from the beginning, but in this instance, one less global superstar making his way to North America is good news. Neymar, for all his fame and popularity, would be a failed signing for the league.

Despite talks between Neymar and the MLS' Chicago Fire, it remains "unlikely" that the Brazilian star will sign a deal with the club, according to

That’s quite the statement considering Miami won the Supporters’ Shield in unprecedented fashion, setting a regular-season points record (74) with arguably the most talented MLS squad ever assembled – highlighted by Suárez and fellow FC Barcelona icons Lionel Messi, Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba.

Having those rights doesn't mean Neymar, currently with Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia, is a lock for Chicago, as was the case late last season when Germany star Marco Reus spurned Charlotte FC to join the eventual MLS Cup winners LA Galaxy.

Luis Suárez and Javier Mascherano gave their thoughts on Neymar's potential transfer to Inter Miami at MLS Media Day.

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 start of the 2025 MLS season is now right around the corner, and there is plenty to look forward to as the league celebrates its 30th anniversary.

In today's MLS rumors, Neymar of Al-Hilal linked with the Chicago Fire and other MLS clubs, Atlanta United & Middlesbrough agree on a deal for Latte Lath.

The Chicago Fire have held discussions to sign Brazilian star Neymar, according to multiple sources who have been briefed on the talks, but a deal to bring the former Barcelona and PSG forward to the United States remains unlikely.

Signing Neymar would be a high-price tag move, obviously, and only a handful of MLS clubs actually have the flexibility to do so. One of those teams conveniently happens to have a tie to the Brazilian national and is also located right here in North Texas.

As reported by ESPN, Neymar is in talks with three MLS teams as he begins to look for the next step in his career. The attacker is out of contract with Al Hilal this summer and will be a free transfer for any club interested in his signing.
