Neymar says he would love to play in America's Major League Soccer towards the end of his career - if only to get a longer off-season break.
The 30-year-old superstar spoke about his hopes for the future on the Fenomenos Podcast with retired Brazil legendary striker Ronaldo and Twitch star Gaules.
Brazil striker Neymar, 30, started his career in his homeland with Santos before high profile moves to Barcelona and current club Paris Saint-Germain.
When asked by Ronaldo, 45, if he plans on retiring in Brazil, Neymar replied: “I don’t know, I have my doubts about that.
“I don’t know if I’ll play in Brazil again, but I’d love to play in the US actually.
"I’d love to play there for at least a season but I don’t know about Brazil - sometimes I want to, sometimes I don’t.”
When Brazilian content creator Gaules, 38, asked why he wants to play in America, Neymar added: “First of all, their season is shorter - so I’d get three months vacation."
Neymar also revealed he is considering becoming a pro gamer when he retires after ruling out a career in management.
The star, who still has four years left on his PSG deal, said: "I can’t be a coach. I’d either get angry too quickly and tell everyone to p*** off and quit or they’d fire me so I’m done with football afterwards.”
He added: "I may work with video games. I may be a gamer. We'll see. I could produce something. I like the production aspect. It interests me.
“But I don't know, all I know is that it won’t be football. Nothing has caught my eye. I have time to think and now I'm just thinking about all the possibilities."
