Martino Dismisses Neymar to Inter Miami Rumors

Speculation of Neymar joining Inter Miami has been dismissed by the club's head coach Gerardo Martino, who cited Major League Soccer's (MLS) strict salary cap rules as a barrier to such a transfer. Rumors intensified following Neymar's purchase of a $26 million property in Miami, but Martino ridiculed the idea that real estate purchases indicate player transfers. Currently, Inter Miami's designated player slots are filled by Lionel Messi, Sergio Busquets, and Leonardo Campana, leaving no room for Neymar unless changes are made to league rules. Martino emphasized that any potential move would require the MLS to make the salary rules more flexible. The coach also highlighted the focus on upcoming playoff matches, underscoring the team's current priorities. Despite the media frenzy, a Neymar transfer to Inter Miami remains highly unlikely under the present conditions.
