Neymar reveals which league he wants to play in after leaving Paris Saint-Germain

Neymar is eyeing up a move to Major League Soccer before the end of his career, wanting to play in America for ‘at least a season’ after his time at Paris Saint-Germain comes to an end.

The Brazilian is under contract at PSG until 2025, with an option to extend for another year, and is unlikely to leave before then, but the 30-year-old will be nearing the end of his career by the time his current deal ends.

The prolific striker will not be short of options if he chooses to leave Paris on a free transfer and he could extend his stay in Europe, but he says he would like a crack at the States before he hangs up his boots.

The Santos legend says he is unlikely to return to his homeland to play in the Brazilian league again, but America is somewhere he intends to take to the field.

‘I don’t know, I have some doubts about that, I don’t know if I’ll play in Brazil again,’ Neymar told the Fenomenos podcast.. ‘I’d love to play in the U.S. actually. I’d love to play there at least for a season.’

On how long he intends to keep playing, Neymar added: ‘I joke with my friends that I will retire when I’m 32.

‘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.’
