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.

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.

Chicago Fire FC is engaged in “preliminary negotiations” with Brazil soccer legend Neymar, according to multiple reports.
