Brazil superstar and Al Hilal attacker Neymar is in preliminary talks with three MLS sides, including Chicago Fire FC, over a proposed move, sources have told ESPN.

Having those rights doesn't mean Neymar, currently with Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia, is a lock for Chicago, as was the case late last season when Germany star Marco Reus spurned Charlotte FC to join the eventual MLS Cup winners LA Galaxy.

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.

As reported by ESPN, Neymar is in talks with three MLS teams as he begins to look for the next step in his career. The attacker is out of contract with Al Hilal this summer and will be a free transfer for any club interested in his signing.

The Chicago Fire are trying to land Neymar from Saudi club Al Hilal. However, the task will be easier said than done to bring him over.
