Neymar Jr. starts gearing up for his upcoming transfer

Neymar, now 34, is gearing up for one last effort this summer to secure a spot on Brazil’s 2026 World Cup team.

At this moment, his prospects are limited, though Carlo Ancelotti is observing him attentively. The ex-Paris Saint-Germain player, frequently sidelined by injuries, has recorded 3 goals and 3 assists in 6 matches for Santos this season.

A club he might soon depart from. Recently, The Athletic disclosed that Ney and his team are engaged in discussions with Cincinnati.

The Major League Soccer franchise, which previously pursued Thomas Muller in 2025, is now targeting the Brazilian star, currently under contract with Santos until December 2026.

The American club and the Neymar camp are currently in the initial phases of discussions regarding a potential transfer.

Finalizing the deal is still a considerable task ahead, particularly because Cincinnati lacks a designated player spot and will need to create space to bring Neymar on board.
