The departure of Neymar from Al-Hilal seems imminent after a period marked by injuries and a lack of prominence in Saudi Arabia. While his future sparks speculation, the surroundings of the Brazilian player are already moving to finalize his next destination, and one of the interested parties in securing his services is Chicago Fire from the MLS. However, negotiations will not be easy, as the footballer's father, who also acts as his agent, has set forth strong financial demands.
Demands a truly insane salary to join the MLS
According to information from L'Équipe, representatives from the U.S. club and the MLS have traveled to Europe to meet with Neymar's father and the renowned agent Pini Zahavi. In these initial discussions, the Chicago Fire would have expressed interest in making Neymar the face of their sports project for the upcoming season, starting in February. However, the player's entourage's financial aspirations have increased the complexity of the operation.
Neymar's father has made it clear that his son will only consider the offer if he receives a salary similar to or higher than Lionel Messi's at Inter Miami. These demands underline the Brazilian's ambition to maintain his status as one of the top figures in world football, although they could be a hurdle to the agreement. For now, the Chicago Fire must assess whether they are willing to take on a financial commitment of such magnitude to secure the arrival of a star like Neymar.
