Neymar plans to fulfill Santos contract amid MLS speculation

Neymar has dismissed talk of a move to Major League Soccer, reaffirming his commitment to Santos until the end of his current deal. The 34-year-old Brazilian forward stated his priority remains earning a spot in Brazil's World Cup squad this summer. Interest from U.S. clubs like FC Cincinnati has surfaced, but Neymar indicated no immediate plans to leave.

Neymar returned to Santos after his stint with Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia and is contracted until the calendar year's end. Speculation about a summer transfer to MLS grew recently, including initial enquiries from FC Cincinnati and past rumors of reuniting with Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez at Inter Miami. However, those discussions appear unlikely to progress soon, as Neymar focuses on international ambitions under Brazil coach Carlo Ancelotti. When asked about the next transfer window, he said, “I honestly don’t know. I have a contract with Santos until the end of the year and I intend to see it through.”
