MLS changes rules to help Inter Miami recruit Neymar, receive ‘huge’ salary like Messi?

Get salary like Messi, increase designated player rate?

To own Neymar, Inter Miami will have to apply a contract similar to Messi’s case. That is, it will pay a portion of the basic salary, plus a percentage of revenue sharing with partners participating in the deal, according to AS .

Messi is receiving a salary of about 20.4 million USD (more than 518 billion VND) for his first full season with Inter Miami Club (2024), of which 12 million USD is the basic salary.

In addition to his salary at Inter Miami, Messi also has income from the Apple TV MLS television rights deal, and shirt sales with Adidas, bringing his total salary income to about $60 million/year. These two partners are the places that share Messi’s salary with Inter Miami, when they persuaded him to play in the US in July 2023.

“This is how Inter Miami will apply in case they recruit Neymar from the beginning of 2025. Neymar’s contract with Al Hilal Club will expire in June 2025, so from the first day of January of the new year, he has the right to negotiate a transfer to a new club if he wants. The fact that this 32-year-old Brazilian star has just completed the purchase of a property in Miami (USA) shows that he has prepared for the possibility of coming here to play,” AS expressed.

“Neymar’s immediate focus is to fully recover from his injury. He is currently only thinking about returning to the pitch and reaching his peak form between now and the end of the year, before he can return to play for the Brazilian national team (in November or in March 2025). However, Neymar has not yet decided on the next step in his career, whether to continue playing in Saudi Arabia, or to move to the United States. The whole world is closely following this move. There is a feeling that Neymar and Inter Miami will come together,” AS said based on recent contacts with Neymar.

Inter Miami have an advantage in recruiting Neymar because they have close friends of the player, such as Messi, Suarez, Busquets and Jordi Alba, along with a strong friendship and admiration for David Beckham, the club’s president and co-owner.

David Beckham has been trying to convince Neymar to come to the US for a long time, after he fulfilled his dream of signing Messi. To this day, the former footballer and businessman is still happy with the signing of Messi, going to the training ground every day just to watch the famous player and his teammates practice.

However, to add Neymar, David Beckham and Inter Miami will have to overcome some hurdles. That is hoping MLS will loosen the rules on salary cap and Designated Player (DP) capacity. MLS has recently loosened some of the rules to attract the world’s top stars, but still only older players like Olivier Giroud or Marco Reus.

Before the 2025 season, it is possible that under the influence of the league’s Executive Commissioner, Mr. Don Garber, MLS will loosen the rules, helping clubs like Inter Miami to recruit big-name stars like Neymar, according to AS .

Neymar to Inter Miami, beneficial for all

“A contract like Neymar’s would benefit everyone, especially as the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Mexico and Canada approaches, where former player Ronaldinho (Neymar’s compatriot) is serving as an ambassador. Neymar has previously hinted at a possible move to MLS,” AS emphasized.

“Back in 2022, when Neymar was still playing for PSG and weighing up his options between Al Hilal, returning to Brazil or going to the United States, he told the Phenomenos podcast: “I’m not sure if I’ll return to Brazil to play again. To be honest, I would love to play in the United States, even if it’s just for one season,” AS revealed, confirming current developments that Neymar was indeed considering joining Inter Miami alongside Messi.
