La Liga
The Chicago Fire, one of the historic clubs in the MLS, has an ambitious goal: to add Neymar to its ranks as a free agent at the end of his contract with Al-Hilal in June. The Brazilian star, who has faced a series of injuries that have limited his impact in Saudi Arabia, remains a heavyweight name in world football and an undeniable attraction for any team.

Since his arrival at Al-Hilal, Neymar has had a nearly testimonial presence on the field due to an ACL tear and subsequent physical complications. Despite high expectations, he has only played two games with the Saudi team, amassing just 42 minutes of game time. This limited performance has raised doubts about his continuity at the club and fueled speculation about his next destination.
Chicago Fire pushes for Neymar's signing
In this context, the Chicago Fire emerges as a serious candidate to bring the Brazilian to the MLS. According to recent reports, the American club is in initial discussions with the player for a two-year contract. Although negotiations are in a preliminary stage, the possibility of Neymar joining an Eastern Conference team could be a strategic move for both the Fire and the league, potentially setting up a new Neymar versus Lionel Messi scenario, with Messi dreaming of reuniting with Neymar at Inter Miami and forming the MSN once again.
The MLS has become an attractive destination for big stars in the twilight of their careers. For Neymar, joining the American league would also present an opportunity to adapt to the environment where the 2026 World Cup will be held, a tournament the player has identified as one of his major goals. Will Chicago Fire be the one to convince him? Only time will tell.
