Beckham Sets His Sights on Neymar: The American Football Dream

The rise of Inter Miami continues to capture global attention. With Messi and Suárez leading the charge, the Florida side sits among the top three teams in the Eastern Conference and is on course for the MLS playoffs. But for David Beckham and the club’s leadership, the goal extends far beyond domestic success — they aim to reshape football in the United States once again with another superstar signing.

According to Mail Sport, Beckham, who serves as co-owner and sporting director, has initiated talks to bring Neymar Jr. to Miami. The Brazilian forward, currently playing for Santos FC, returned to his boyhood club in January 2025 after his spell with Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia. Despite recurring injuries, Neymar remains one of football’s most marketable and influential figures — perfectly fitting Beckham’s vision of a globally recognized franchise.

While negotiations won’t be easy, sources close to the team believe that the opportunity to reunite with Lionel Messi and Luis Suárez, paired with the lifestyle in Miami, could convince Neymar to embark on a new adventure in North America.

The MSN Reunion: A Formula for Success

Between 2014 and 2017, Messi, Suárez, and Neymar formed one of the most iconic attacking trios in football history: the MSN. Under Luis Enrique Martínez, the three South American stars guided FC Barcelona to the historic 2015 treble — LaLiga, the Champions League, and the Copa del Rey — along with multiple other domestic and international titles.

Their chemistry on the field was electric — an almost telepathic partnership that defined an era of dominance at the Camp Nou. Now, Inter Miami hopes to rekindle that magic in a different setting, with the MLS as its new stage and the American market as its next frontier.

The move would also align with Inter Miami’s commercial strategy, as the club looks to expand its global reach and fanbase. With Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba expected to retire at the end of 2025, the club will have the salary cap flexibility to offer Neymar a marquee contract worthy of his superstar status.

A Transfer That Could Redefine the MLS

If completed, Neymar’s arrival at Inter Miami would mark a groundbreaking moment not only for the club but for the entire Major League Soccer. It would reunite three legends whose chemistry and charisma captivated the football world a decade ago.

David Beckham’s vision remains clear: to turn Inter Miami into a global powerhouse and recreate the buzz that accompanied Messi’s arrival. If the plan comes together, the MLS could witness the rebirth of one of football’s greatest attacking partnerships — the unforgettable MSN.
