Chicago Fire are in talks over a surprise move to bring Brazil striker Neymar to Major League Soccer. The 32-year-old is out of contract with Al-Hilal in the summer after two years in the Saudi Pro League.

In reality, the deal seems doomed from the beginning, but in this instance, one less global superstar making his way to North America is good news. Neymar, for all his fame and popularity, would be a failed signing for the league.

Neymar may be on his way to Major League Soccer this summer, with reports suggesting the Chicago Fire owns the discovery rights to the Al-Hilal superstar, who earns a reported $107 million per year
