PSG and FC Barcelona legend could sign with LA Galaxy

The LA Galaxy is enjoying a promising start to the 2024 MLS season with its two new Designated Players, Gabriel Pec and Joseph Paintsil, with the latter shining brightest with two goals and an assist in his first 4 games for the Galaxy. However, is there room for another star player?

Let's break it down. Neymar's career took an unexpected turn last summer when he was transferred from PSG to Al Hilal in Saudi Arabia for around €90 million. However, the Brazilian had barely played when he suffered another injury.

In October 2023, Neymar received the worst news for a footballer, as he tore the anterior cruciate ligament and meniscus in his left knee during a match with the Brazilian national team. This also directly affected his contract with Al-Hilal, a team that reportedly seems to be considering terminating the contract, according to various reports.

Journalist Fabrizio Romano commented on the matter: "Al Hilal has not terminated Neymar Jr.'s contract. Sources deny the reports and dismiss them as fake news."

Now, it wouldn't be the first time that Neymar's camp has dismissed reports as "fake news" only for them to come true, like his departure from PSG last summer.

It is in this context that the report from L'Équipe becomes significant, claiming that the LA Galaxy is interested in the Brazilian star. Neymar's contractual uncertainty could be the main factor driving him to MLS.

Currently, the LA Galaxy already has 3 designated players in Riqui Puig, Gabriel Pec, and Joseph Paintsil, but there are reports suggesting that the MLS will soon allow up to 4 designated players, which could open the door for another superstar to join the LA Galaxy.

Would you like Neymar to fill that spot?
