Since joining Inter Miami last season, Argentine star attacker Lionel Messi has helped the MLS side to recruit a number of his former teammates, including Sergio Busquets, Jordi Alba, and Luis Suarez. As it turns out, there is one more player interested in a reunion with Messi.
Brazilian star forward Neymar recently had a chat with ESPN Argentina and was asked about the prospects of playing with Messi once again.
“Hopefully we can play together again. Leo is a great person, everyone knows him in football and I think he is very happy and if he is happy, I am too,” said Neymar.
Neymar and Messi first teamed up with Barcelona, playing together with the La Liga giants between 2013 and 2017. The two won eight trophies together, including two La Liga titles and one UEFA Champions League trophy. They reunited again in 2021 when Messi signed with Paris Saint-Germain and won back-to-back Ligue 1 titles.
Neymar left PSG in the summer to join Saudi Arabia’s Al Hilal in a €90 million transfer. However, he managed to play only five games for his new club, scoring one goal and adding three assists, before suffering a devastating knee injury while on international duty with Brazil. He is expected to return to action in late 2024.
