Neymar Hints at Possible Reunion with Messi and Suárez: “Football is Full of Surprises”
In the ever-evolving world of football, where the unexpected often becomes reality, Brazilian forward Neymar has sparked excitement and speculation with his recent comments. The 32-year-old, currently under contract with Al Hilal until June 2025, has addressed the tantalizing possibility of reuniting with his former Barcelona teammates, Lionel Messi and Luis Suárez, at Inter Miami. “Football is full of surprises,” Neymar mused, leaving fans to wonder what the future holds.
Neymar’s journey with Al Hilal in the Saudi Pro League has been anything but smooth. Since joining the Gulf state club, his time on the pitch has been limited due to an anterior cruciate ligament injury sustained during international duty. His recovery has been plagued by smaller injuries, making his return to full fitness a challenging journey.
Despite these setbacks, Neymar remains optimistic about the possibility of reuniting with Messi and Suárez. “Obviously playing again with Messi and Suarez would be incredible,” he told CNN Sport. “They are my friends, we still speak to each other, it would be interesting to revive this trio.”
While Neymar expresses contentment with his current situation at Al Hilal and in Saudi Arabia, he leaves the door open for future possibilities. “I am happy at Al Hilal and in Saudi Arabia, but who knows. Football is full of surprises,” he added, fueling speculation about a potential move to Inter Miami.
The Miami Connection
Messi and Suárez have already rekindled their formidable partnership at Inter Miami, joining forces in December 2023. Their collaboration has been nothing short of spectacular, leading the team to win the MLS Supporters Shield in 2024 and setting a new record for most regular season points in the United States-based league. The prospect of adding Neymar to this dynamic duo is a tantalizing thought for fans and analysts alike.
Neymar’s World Cup Aspirations
Beyond club football, Neymar has his sights set on the 2026 World Cup, which will be hosted by the U.S., Mexico, and Canada. “I will try, I want to be there,” he stated, acknowledging the significance of this tournament in his career. “I know this will be my last World Cup, my last shot, my last chance, and I will do everything I can to play in it.”
