Inter Miami have been offered the chance to reunite Neymar with Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez.
The trio formed an exciting and feared three-pronged attack while at Barcelona and, though all in the twilight of their careers, Miami are understood to be exploring the idea of bringing the three stars together again for one final fling in the MLS.
Neymar joined hometown club Santos in January on a six-month deal after his contract with Al Ittihad was terminated. He extended his deal until December so will be free to negotiate with other clubs from the end of this year.
Miami are in the play-offs and are looking to kick on again next season.
They are losing Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets who are retiring but are signing former Tottenham left-back Sergio Reguilon and are drawing up a list of targets from Europe as they look to bring in a number of new additions.
Miami are working on new contracts for Messi, 38, and Suarez, also 38, but are also floating the prospect of adding 33-year old Neymar.

Although negotiations are yet to take place, Neymar’s representatives recognize there is potential value, on and off the pitch, to taking Brazil’s all time record goalscorer to the USA in a World Cup year.
It’s a prospect that could also appeal to Neymar at this juncture in his career as he considers what other options lie ahead.
Messi and Inter Miami remain in the hunt for the MLS Cup, with just two games left of their regular season in MLS.
Miami can still finish second in the Eastern Conference and, beyond that, would then enter into the MLS playoffs in the hopes of being crowned champion.
They will Atlanta United on Saturday evening before then travelling Nashville for the final game of their regular season.
Messi, meanwhile, is also on the hunt for the MLS Golden Boot. The Argentine has scored 24 goals in the regular season, just one more than Sam Surridge and Denis Bouanga.
Meanwhile, when playing together at Barcelona between 2014-2017, Neymar, Messi, and Suarez combined for 364 goals and 173 assists for the Spanish giants.
