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

Neymar Júnior, one of the most influential soccer players of recent times, has left an indelible mark on fans across the globe despite significant injuries throughout his career. Recently, speculation has linked him with a potential move to MLS from Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal, and new developments have emerged this Wednesday.

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.

In the change, a club can use unlimited out-of-pocket funds to trade for players already within the league. This has previously required the use of General Allocation Money, players, or a mix of other mechanisms that are limited.

But sources with ESPN in Brazil have tempered expectations over a move to MLS for Neymar, adding that if he were to play in the U.S., he still held out hope of signing with Inter Miami.
