Neymar Eyes MLS Move as FC Cincinnati Starts Early Talks

FC Cincinnati has opened preliminary discussions with Neymar’s camp about a potential move to MLS. The talks are in the very early stages as Cincinnati gauges Neymar’s interest, requirements and whether a deal fits the club’s plans. Neymar remains under contract with Santos through 2026, and Cincinnati notes its growing appeal to global stars, though the club currently has no open Designated Player slot, with Kévin Denkey, Miles Robinson and Evander occupying the DP spots for the year, complicating a potential signing unless a slot is freed or a deal is made.

Six MLS players remain in the hunt for FIFA World Cup 2026 berths after this week’s UEFA and Intercontinental Playoffs.

Winners join World Cup groups F (Netherlands/Japan/Tunisia), A (Mexico/South Korea/South Africa), K (Colombia/Portugal/Uzbekistan) and I (France/Norway/Senegal), respectively.

Salah to Leave Liverpool: End of an Anfield Era, New Chapter Ahead

Mohamed Salah will depart Liverpool at season’s end after the club and his representatives agreed to waive the final year of his contract, making him a free agent. The nine-year spell yielded 255 goals in 435 games, but his form has dipped this season, prompting the move. MLS is widely viewed as the likely next destination, though Saudi Pro League links persist. Liverpool will now plan to replace him and move on under manager Arne Slot and the club’s owners, marking the end of an era at Anfield.

Salah's Next Move: Saudi Prospects, MLS Appeal, or a European Comeback

With Salah set to leave Liverpool, the BBC outlines three routes: a Saudi Pro League move to one of the big four or other SPL clubs, a high-profile MLS switch via the Designated Player route (Inter Miami linked, encouraged by Don Garber), or a European transfer to a top club (PSG, Bayern, Real Madrid or Barcelona) if a compelling project and wages can be matched; current evidence suggests Saudi or MLS are likelier options, while Europe would only happen for a substantial offer.

Salah's Next Scene: MLS, Saudi Pro League, or a Galatasaray Switch

Mohamed Salah announced his departure from Liverpool after nine seasons, ending a 255-goal, 435-appearance era. With no confirmed destination, outlets including Sports Illustrated explore options: a move to MLS (San Diego FC is highlighted as a likely DP spot), a lucrative transfer to the Saudi Pro League (targets include Al Hilal, NEOM, and Al Qadsiah), or a Europe-based path such as Galatasaray. Salah’s agent says no one knows his next move. The MLS option is increasingly plausible as the league grows, while the Saudi league remains a strong financial lure.

Sounders extend road shutout streak with 0-0 draw at Minnesota

Seattle played its sixth straight road match and earned a 0-0 draw at Minnesota United, extending their road shutout streak while dominating possession but failing to convert. Andrew Thomas made key saves as Minnesota pressed at times; Kelvin Yeboah tested the keeper early, and Tino Lopez made a pivotal clearance. Alex Roldan left with a hip injury, while Jordan Morris returned to play about 25 minutes. Seattle moves to 3-1-1 on the season, with seven road points and three straight league shutouts, and heads into a road-heavy stretch before a home game at Lumen Field.

MLS will run a 14-game, in-conference sprint season in early 2027, followed by a streamlined single-elimination playoff for the top eight teams in each conference.
