“Now that Leo (Messi) and the boys have arrived, anything can happen. What I can’t imagine is if the league (MLS) does not make the salary limit more flexible, how would it be carried out because writing it or saying it in the media is all good, but the setting going on, no one explains it,” Martino said this Friday at a press conference in response to reports about an eventual signing of the Brazilian star by Inter Miami.
Currently, Messi, Sergio Busquets and the Ecuadorian Leonardo Campana occupy the three franchise player positions that the MLS allows in its competition rules.
Reports about a possible arrival of Neymar to Inter Miami arise from the purchase of a 26 million dollar mansion in South Florida, according to the media, although the coach relativized it.
“We cannot mention a player just because he bought a house or got married with a girl in Fort Lauderdale, we have to talk with forceful things, first we have to analyze what the league offers,” he indicated.
Neymar, an Al-Hilal Saudi player, returned to activity after almost a year without playing due to a torn anterior cruciate ligament and meniscus in his left knee.
Martino, 61, coached the Brazilian attacker in the 2013 season with FC Barcelona, his first at the Blaugrana club, with Messi as a teammate.
