Inter Miami managing owner, Jorge Mas, has issued a clear stance on the possibility of signing Brazilian superstar Neymar.
Reports linking Neymar with a reunion with Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez at Inter Miami continue to persist, as the Selecao talisman will be out of contract at Al Hilal on 30 June 2025.
The 32-year-old has struggled with injuries since his move to Saudi Arabia, where he has only made seven appearances in all competition since August 2023.

Reports in Saudi Arabia indicate that Al Hilal are yet to make a decision on the player's future, although they are aware of the fact that Neymar is yet to justify the club-record transfer fee of €90 million (R1.7 billion) they paid to lure him away from Paris Saint-Germain last year.
Now, with Inter Miami considered a potential next destination for Neymar, the managing owner of the United States club has revealed what would need to happen in order for the attacker to join the team in Florida.
"The key word is if he were to become available. He is an Al Hilal player now. He's not available to us," Mas told GIVEMESPORT.
"I have always said we aspire to bring great players to our team. We have a lot of roster limitations and restrictions, but we have an unlimited budget.
"We are aspirational. If there is ever a chance to bring the calibre of a player like Neymar, we will not hesitate.
"It doesn't depend only on me. It depends on the player and the league. But yes, we aspire to build a great roster here."
Elsewhere, Dutch star Memphis Depay has urged Neymar to sign for his current club, Corinthians, instead.
"Come and play for Corinthians," Depay told Globoesporte.
"Although I know he is a Santos fan, I think he has a lot of friends at Corinthians. We have had good times and he is a source of inspiration for many. I hope everything goes well and that he is happy wherever he goes."
