Major League Soccer's FC Cincinnati is in the race to sign Brazilian football icon Neymar from his current team, Santos FC, according to ESPN. It's believed that any decision on his future will be made after the 2026 FIFA World Cup - regardless of Neymar's participation. This is crucial for his potential selection as Brazil national team boss Carlo Ancelotti previously stated Neymar would be considered for selection for the World Cup if he was fully fit. Since coming into MLS in 2016, FC Cincinnati has won the MLS Supporters Shield twice - most recently in 2023. Last season, they finished second in the league and reached the quarterfinals of MLS Cup.
