  WHAT HAPPENED?

  Three iconic South American forwards enjoyed considerable success together at Barcelona between 2014 and 2017, with Luis Suarez the third string in that attacking bow – with La Liga and Champions League titles collected at Camp Nou while registering 364 goals and 171 assists as a trio.

  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  It has been suggested that one of the most fearsome strike units in modern times could be pieced back together in the United States. Neymar is, amid injury struggles at Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal, seeing a move to Florida speculated on.

• WHAT JORGE MAS SAID

  Inter Miami have been keen to distance themselves from those rumours, but Mas has told when quizzed on whether Neymar could link up with Messi and Suarez: “The key word is if he were to become available. He is an Al-Hilal player now. He's not available to us. I have always said we aspire to bring great players to our team. We have a lot of roster limitations and restrictions, but we have an unlimited budget.

  “We are aspirational. If there is ever a chance to bring the calibre of a player like Neymar, we will not hesitate. It doesn't depend only on me. It depends on the player and the league. But yes, we aspire to build a great roster here.”

  DID YOU KNOW?

  Neymar’s contract at Al-Hilal is only due to run until the summer of 2025, with club executive Esteve Calzada giving little away when it comes to possible extension talks. He said: “This is something the coach [Jorge Jesus] needs to decide when he's back fit. We are now in the middle of the season. We are doing well. We are very confident with the squad we have at the moment.”
