Neymar was one of the luxury guests present this Saturday at the Bahrain Grand Prix, the first test of the 2024 Formula 1 season in which The Brazilian star took the opportunity to confess that he likes the idea of sharing a team with his friend Lionel Messi again..
The current Al-Hilal player from Saudi Arabia, who is recovering from a serious knee injury, witnessed the day in which Max Verstappen, of the Red Bull team, once again demonstrated his iron dominance in F1 by conquering the first race of the season without problems.
But Neymar not only called attention for its presence in the VIP area of the Bahrain International Circuit but he also did it during an interview with ESPN in which he made it clear that he would like to meet again with the Argentine star, current figure of Inter Miami in Major League Soccer.
“I hope so, that we can play together again”said the Brazilian, who has coincided with Lionel Messi during two stages of his successful career. First at FC Barcelona, where they formed a friendship with the Uruguayan Luis Suárez, and later at Paris Saint-Germain.
“Leo is a great person, everyone knows him. He is very happy and if he is happy I am too”added the Brazilian, who suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament and meniscus in his left knee last October in a match against Uruguay in the South American qualifiers.
Speculation about the possibility of a reunion between Neymar and Lionel Messi began as soon as the Argentine arrived at Inter Miami in the middle of last year, despite the fact that the Brazilian had already become a player for Arab Al-Hilal with a mega contract of more than $80 million dollars per season.
The arrival of Luis Suárez to Inter Miami at the beginning of 2024 has once again awakened the fans’ desire for Neymar to join the MLS team in which Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba are also currently playing, also former FC Barcelona players where they all coincided.
However, for now the Brazilian star remains focused on completing his recovery and returning to play with Al-Hilal with whom he signed for two seasons and who, given the South American’s injury, opted to remove him from the squad until he recovers to be able to occupy his place with another player.
Al-Hilal is in the middle of a great season in the Saudi Arabia Pro League in which they lead the standings after 22 games played. Those led by Portuguese Jorge Jesús have a record of 20 wins, two draws and have yet to know defeat.
Their next match will be on Friday against Al-Riyahd, against whom they will seek to maintain the distance they maintain with respect to their closest pursuer, Al-Nassr of Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo, who is nine points behind.
