Neymar, who recently extended his contract with Paris Saint-Germain to 2025, said that he wishes to play at least one football season in the United States. The Brazilian further added that he is not sure if he would return to his homeland for some club football.

After scoring more than 100 goals for Barcelona in four seasons, Neymar shifted to PSG in 2017 in a record transfer deal. In Paris, the Brazilian has hit 60 goals in 81 appearances. 

“I don’t know if I will play in Brazil again. I have a lot of will to play in the U.S., that I do want. At least for one season. In Brazil … I don’t know. Sometimes I want it, sometimes I don’t,” Neymar told podcast “Fenômenos” in a video posted late Sunday.

He jokingly added that he wants to play in the United States “because the championship is quick, so there’s four months of vacations. That’s how you can play (there) for many years.”

Several players from Europe and South America have played in the Major League Soccer (MLS). 

Asked whether he is planning for his retirement, Neymar said he jokes with his friends about hanging his boots at age 32.

“I will play until I am mentally worn out. If I am well in my head and in my body … my body will endure a few more years, but the head needs to be well. But there’s not a certain age.”

Neymar also considered Brazil’s national team to be “very distanced from Brazil fans.

“I don’t know why, when it started, why it happened, but I see it in our matches. People don’t talk about it, don’t know when we play. That’s bad,” the striker said. “It is sad to live in a generation in which Brazil playing is not important. When I was a child it was an event, we had to stop, meet the family.”
