Neymar’s talks with FC Cincinnati have now intensified over the past couple of days, per ESPN Brazil, now involving the Brazilian superstar’s father.
The 34-year-old striker was first linked to the MLS side on Thursday, with the understanding that any talks were merely in the preliminary stages; however, now, Neymar’s representatives—including his father, Neymar Sr.—are now expected to meet in person with Cincinnati co-CEO Jeff Berding, general manager Chris Albright and a team specialized in image rights to talk further financial details and determine the necessary conditions to bring the star stateside. A key consideration to hash out is that the MLS club already has all three of its Designated Player positions locked up in long-term contracts.
