Neymar, a 34-year-old Brazilian forward, could swap Santos for Inter Miami in the January 2027 transfer market, according to information from former Brazilian international Felipe Melo. The player has a contract with Santos until December 2026, so if successful, he would move to the MLS after becoming a free agent. 

Neymar and Inter Miami: an operation still without an agreement

The hint about Neymar's future comes from Felipe Melo, who claims to have received information from someone close to the player. His version places the Brazilian in Miami from January 2027, although there is no official confirmation of an agreement between Neymar and Inter Miami. 

The scenario fits with the current contractual situation. Santos extended Neymar's contract until the end of 2026 after the forward decided to stay in Brazil to regain playing time and keep his chances of returning to the Brazilian national team.

The possibility of playing in the MLS is not new for Neymar. In July 2026, Yahoo Sports analyzed Inter Miami and other clubs in the competition as potential destinations for the forward after his contract with Santos ended.

Leo Messi and Luis Suárez, key players in the Miami scenario

The sporting appeal of Inter Miami is also linked to the presence of Leo Messi, who recently extended his contract until the end of the 2028 MLS season. The Argentine has already confirmed his continuity in the Miami project. 

Also remaining in the team is Luis Suárez, whose contract with Inter Miami runs until the end of the 2026 season. In 2025, the Uruguayan participated in 50 matches, scored 17 goals, and provided 17 assists

The potential signing of Neymar would reunite the three players who formed Barcelona's attacking trident between 2014 and 2017. However, Suarez's continuity beyond 2026 is not confirmed by the club, while Messi is contracted until 2028. 

Neymar's contractual situation

Neymar returned to Santos in January 2025 after his spell at Al-Hilal and later extended his contract until December 2026. His move to the MLS, therefore, would depend on him not extending his stay at the Brazilian club. 

The decision was also influenced by the 2026 World Cup. The forward sought to regain his fitness and compete for a place in the Brazilian national team, although ultimately his international future was dependent on his progress and availability. 

For now, the only new element is the information provided by Felipe Melo. Inter Miami has not announced any negotiations with Neymar, and there is no official agreement communicated by Santos or the player. The situation will have to wait until the end of 2026 to see if the prediction about Neymar and Miami materializes into a deal.
