According to ESPN, FC Cincinnati's interest in signing Neymar is real and has increased in recent days. Neymar's representatives intend to meet in person with FC Cincinnati officials, including president and owner Jeff Berding and director Chris Albright, as well as a team specializing in image rights, to advance discussions.

FC Cincinnati have started negotiations with Neymar's representatives regarding a potential move after his contract with Santos concludes in December 2026. 'The Athletic' reports that the talks are in an early, exploratory phase, with the goal of assessing the Brazilian player's interest level and his potential contract terms. The possibility of signing Neymar is also a topic of internal discussions at the American club concerning its technical and financial viability. A significant hurdle for the deal is the club's lack of available 'Designated Player' slots. The three available spots are occupied by Kevin Denkey, Miles Robinson, and Evander, who are on long-term contracts. A potential solution could arise next summer through the sale of one of those players, for instance Denkey, who has received interest from multiple European clubs. Chicago Fire previously engaged in serious negotiations with Neymar upon his departure from Al Hilal in 2025, prior to his decision to go back to Santos.
