Neymar will not join Messi and Suarez in Miami, at least not this winter

Inter Miami will not recreate the MSN, one of the best and most famous offensive tridents that ever existed in the history of football.

In the last few weeks, there has been a certain buzz about what would happen regarding the signings of the pink team and its management of franchise players (Designated Players, in English), after it was confirmed that both Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba were hanging up their boots. 

There was a great deal of anticipation regarding the possibility that Inter Miami would go after Neymar and that the Brazilian would once again be seen in action alongside his friends Leo Messi and Luis Suárez.

The Florida franchise, however, has ruled out the signing of Ney for the upcoming month of January. Beyond the undeniable media impact that would have been generated by seeing the Blaugrana trio reunited in different colors, the sports management of the club has preferred to prioritize football matters. It has focused on seeking a different player profile and strengthening key positions for 2026, such as shoring up the defense and signing a reference '9'. 

Javier Mascherano, therefore, will remain without the possibility of coaching one of his teammates during his time at Barcelona.

Ney, who already knows Inter Miami's decision, will end his contract with Santos at the end of this month of December. Despite his long and painful journey of injuries, he still has the fixed idea of trying to regain his physical condition so that Carlo Ancelotti will call him up and take him to the next World Cup, which will be the last of his career.

If the Peixe manages to confirm its stay in the last two rounds of the Brasileirão, which ends on Sunday, everything seems to indicate that it will extend its professional contract until the World Cup. Its second stint at Santos, which was initially for six months, could end up being extended for a year and a half. 

With the World Cup over and at 34 years old, the São Paulo star could embark on his adventure in MLS, a competition that has always caught his attention, as the protagonist himself has been stating even before his unsuccessful stint in Saudi Arabia. He loves the United States and is fascinated by following in the footsteps of Pelé, who ended his career playing for the Cosmos of New York.
