It seems there is no star too big for MLS these days.


Brazilian megastar Neymar added himself to the list of international players who are considering a Stateside move, saying in an interview with RedBull.com that he would like to play in the United States at some point in his career.


“The US is a place where the game is growing and attracting the interest of lots of players, who are becoming more and more popular there, so this makes me curious, it makes me interested to see it closely,” he said in a wide-ranging Q-and-A.



The 23-year-old Barcelona forward is enjoying one of his finest years on the pitch, having just made the podium for the 2015 Ballon d’Or, finishing third behind Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. Among the other interesting tidbits from the article include the fact that Neymar would also like to play in his native country Brazil again and under Bayern Munich manager Pep Guardiola.
