Neymar Withdraws from Cincinnati Move Citing Frustration with Negotiations
Brazilian forward Neymar, who plays for Santos, has withdrawn from negotiations with Cincinnati due to frustration over the slow progress of a potential transfer, according to The Athletic.
The source reveals that Cincinnati never made an official offer for the 34-year-old striker, although they did drop hints that could be interpreted as interest. Neymar, meanwhile, was willing to join the American club if financial terms could be agreed upon.
Despite this disappointing initial experience, Neymar remains open to playing in MLS—but now he is certain it will not be with Cincinnati. His contract with Santos runs until the end of the year, with both the Brazilian and American seasons concluding in December.
