Many things have been said about the possible return of Neymar Jr. to his origins in Vila Belmiro to wear the iconic Santos jersey for a second time. However, with the end of his career closer than ever, it is not entirely ruled out that the Brazilian may opt for an American adventure before considering retirement in his beloved Brazil.
In 2025, the Al-Hilal star will be a free agent in the same year in which San Diego FC will play their inaugural MLS season, so there are rumors already linking Ney to the new franchise.

Located in the city of San Diego, California, this team, which has already secured a handful of players and a technical team, dreams of landing prominent talent to have a perfect debut.
According to Mundo Deportivo, Neymar is one of the club’s targets as he’s set to hit the open market just before its inaugural season.
Neymar would not be the only world-class footballer coveted in this ambitious project, with the likes of Guillermo Ochoa, Edinson Cavani, Keylor Navas, Antoine Griezmann, or Robert Lewandowski reportedly on the Californian club’s radar as well.
