New Delhi: Brazil forward Neymar has recently expressed his desire to reunite with his good friends and former Barcelona teammates Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez amid Inter Miami transfer links. Messi and Suarez are currently playing for the MLS side, while Neymar is playing for Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal. Neymar’s contract with the club is set to expire in June 2025.
The three South Americans formed one of the most formidable attacking trio ‘MSN’ between 2017 and 2017. They even won the treble together during the 2014-15 season. However, Neymar was the first to leave the Catalans for a whopping record-breaking € 222 million transfer fee move to Paris Saint-Germain in 2017.
While the MSN trio haven’t reunited since then, Neymar and Messi shared the field once again between 2021 and 2023 for PSG. In a recent interview with CNN Sport when he was asked whether he would like to reunite with his former teammates in the future.
The 32-year-old Brazilian star said, “Obviously, playing again with Messi and Suarez would be incredible. They are my friends. We still speak to each other. It would be interesting to revive this trio. I’m happy at Al-Hilal, I’m happy in Saudi Arabia, but who knows. Football is full of surprises.”

With Neymar entering the final six months of his contract with Al-Hilal, he has played just seven games since moving from PSG because of injuries. Due to all this, the speculations are high that the club might rift ways with him.
Along with Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi, he will also get reunited with Sergio Busquets and head coach Javier Mascherano.

During the interview, he also addressed the question of his chance of playing at the 2026 World Cup in the U.S., Mexico, and Canada with his country. He said, “I will try — I want to be there,” he said. “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.”
Recovering from his ACL injury, the 32-year-old is determined to return to full fitness and lead Brazil in the U.S., Mexico, and Canada. Currently, he is Brazil’s leading goal-scorer of all time and is yet to play in a FIFA World Cup final since making his international debut in 2010. He will be hoping to lead the team to their sixth world title in North America two years from now.
