Barcelona's attacking prowess was rated as one of the best in footballing history when the trio of Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar used to play for the club. The lethal trio scored a total of 364 goals in 450 games between 2014 and 2017. With the trio upon their ranks, Barcelona won the treble in 2015 and achieved a lot of titles throughout the years. The trio was broken when Neymar Jr left the club for PSG in 2017. Eventually Luis Suarez also left the club and Lionel Messi joined Inter Miami through PSG. Suarez joined Messi at Inter Miami in 2024. Now there has been rumours that Neymar will join the duo at Inter Miami very soon. 'Cristiano Ronaldo Was A Monster and Father of the Monster is Lionel Messi' Pep Guardiola Makes Massive Statement While Talking About Ballon d'Or Ceremony 2024 (Watch Video).

According to reports from Miami Herald, Neymar bought a $26 million waterfront property in Bal Harbour. “It’s a record price for square footage of land in Bal Harbour,” an anonymous real estate insider told the Miami Herald. “Neymar just bought an empty lot.” The lot is located on the Intracoastal and comes with approved plans for a 13,000 square foot house to be designed by Elicyon, a well-regarded company based out of London.

Miami Herald has also pointed out that Neymar likes to spend time in South Florida. He has been spotted courtside at Miami Heat games several times. He attended the Miami Open with Heat star Jimmy Butler last spring, threw out the ceremonial first pitch on Marlins 2024 Opening Day, and was photographed at dinner with Inter Miami co-owner David Beckham in late-March.

Neymar joined Al-Hilal in the 2023-24 summer after leaving PSG. He injured his anterior cruciate ligament soon after joining the club and has been out of action since. He is 32-year-old and still have some time left in him. Saudi journalist Tariq Al Nofal has also reported that Inter Miami has been in talks with Al Hilal about a potential transfer. Al Nofal reported that Al-Hilal is “open to the idea of letting Neymar leave at the beginning of the year if a suitable offer is received” to recoup part of his transfer fee. Vinicius Jr Reacts After Missing Out on Ballon d’Or 2024 Award, Real Madrid Star Says ‘They Are Not Ready’ (See Post).

Neymar signed a deal of $80 to 100 million in salary and his deal includes perks such as a 25-bedroom mansion with staff and use of a private plane at Al-Hilal. If he leaves Saudi Arabia at the start of the 2025 season in USA or after his contract expired in 2025 summer, he will have to take a significant pay cut wherever he will end up at. But the prospect of joining his old Barcelona teammates like Messi, Sergio Busquets, Jordi Alba and Suarez is lucrative enough and he will also have the liberty to have a relaxed lifestyle in USA. Fans will also definitely want to see them reunited.
