Overview
- FC Cincinnati has reached out to Neymar’s representatives about a possible move to MLS, according to a report relayed by Bolavip from U.S. journalist Tom Bogert.
- Those contacts are described as very preliminary, with Cincinnati said to be gauging the player’s interest and demands before taking any next step.
- If a deal came together in time, Neymar could feature in August’s Leagues Cup, where Cincinnati is grouped with Mexico’s Pumas, Pachuca, and Atlas.
- El Litoral reports Cincinnati currently lacks an open Designated Player slot, and any transfer would also require talks with Santos, where Reuters has reported Neymar is under contract through late 2026.
- The interest fits MLS’s recent push for headline signings, underscored by Antoine Griezmann’s confirmed arrival at Orlando City in July.
