World soccer continues to witness major moves among the most iconic players of the last decade. Neymar, for instance, has been at the center of several truly significant transfers, like the one from Barça to PSG. He wanted to try his luck with the enticing French project that had just begun, but his adventure in Paris didn't quite work out.
After several years of recurring injuries and disappointments at PSG, Neymar decided to embark on a new chapter in Arab soccer. He moved to Saudi Arabia to join Al-Hilal, seeking more tranquility and less pressure. However, his dream turned into a nightmare due to injuries. He tore his ACL and has only been able to play 7 matches in the last year and a half.
Currently, Neymar is injured again after suffering a hamstring tear, but he remains optimistic about the future. Far from considering retirement, the legendary number 10 wants to give it one last try and has already chosen his destination. Such a move directly affects Messi and Joan Laporta.
Neymar is Sure: Messi and Joan Laporta Celebrate
According to journalist Sacha Tavolieri, Neymar is determined to leave Saudi Arabia to head to the MLS. Ney, currently with Al-Hilal, has seen that his stint in Saudi soccer hasn't been as satisfying as he expected. His intention now is to reunite with Messi at Inter Miami.
This change would mark a new chapter in Neymar's soccer career. Now he seeks to revitalize his great trajectory after several seasons marked by injuries and ups and downs. Moreover, the prospect of sharing the locker room again with Messi and Luis Suárez, with whom he formed the legendary "MSN" trio, could be a key factor in his future.
Joan Laporta is Pleased with Neymar's Chosen Path
Joan Laporta, who's been a key figure at Barça during two terms, has never hidden his skepticism about Neymar's possible return to Camp Nou. Although he left a mark during his time at Barça, his departure in 2017 to PSG and the legal controversies that followed deteriorated his relationship with the club. For Joan Laporta, the high cost that his transfer would entail and his injury history don't make him a viable option.
For this reason, Joan Laporta has expressed his satisfaction with Neymar's move to the MLS. From his perspective, this move not only benefits the player but also avoids potential media and economic pressure on Barça. While Inter Miami and Messi celebrate his arrival, the Barça president breathes a sigh of relief.
