Neymar Would 'Love' To Play In MLS As PSG Star Would Get 'Vacation' Every Season

The Brazilian forward is leaving the door open to a potential move to the United States

Neymar has shown interest in playing in the MLS. Neymar admitted that he would love to play in MLS at some stage, not because he’d get three months vacation every season.

Neymar has spent the last five years of his career on PSG's books, having initially been snapped up from Barcelona for a world record €222 million (£189m/$259m) fee in 2017.

Neymar was transferred from Barcelona to PSG. The famous MSN trio was broken after Neymar left Barca for PSG and Suarez left Barcelona for Atletico Madrid.

The 30-year-old is contracted to remain at Parc des Princes until 2025, but has now suggested that he might not see out his playing days in France due to his attraction to the United States.

Neymar raised the possibility of a foray into MLS when quizzed on whether he plans to return to his native Brazil before he retires.

"I don't know. I have some doubts about that. I don't know if I'll play in Brazil again," the former Barcelona talisman, who began his career at Santos, said on the Fenomenos podcast.

"I'd love to play in the U.S., actually. I'd love to play there at least for a season."

Pressed on what attracts him to the American game, Neymar replied: "First of all, their season is shorter, so I'd get three months' vacation."

The PSG forward says he hasn't started thinking about retirement just yet and plans to continue playing for as long as his body holds up and his passion for the sport remains intact.

"I joke with my friends that I will retire when I'm 32," said Neymar.

"But it's just a joke. I don't know. Honestly, I will play until I'm mentally tired. If my mental health is ok and my body as well... Physically, I think I'll still last a few years.

"But my mental health is the most important thing. My contract with Paris will last until I'm 34. So I'll be playing [at least] until then."
