Neymar and Guillermo Ochoa, key players in Hugo Sanchez's MLS project

A new team is set to land in San Diego

A few days ago it was announced that San Diego F.C. will soon land in Major League Soccer.

The team, an expansion franchise, would like to have Mexican Hugo Snchez as technical director, but also goalkeeperGuillermo Ochoa as its first captain.

It is worth noting that Hugo Sanchez has not managed a football team since the 2012 season and «Memo» Ochoa will not be with Salernitana in Italy next season. As a result, talk of a possible deal with San Diego FC, which will play its first season in MLS in 2025, has begun.

But Neymar is also on San Diego FC's radar, according to POSTA Deportes. The Brazilian is undergoing rehabilitation after suffering a cruciate ligament tear last October during a World Cup 2026 qualifier between Uruguay and Brazil and is under contract with Al-Hilal until June 30, 2025.

However, rumours of his return to Brazil have also increased in recent days. The winger is looking to return to his origins and Santos could be, in the near future, his team.

According to UOL after the match between Santos and Palmeiras in the final of the Paulista Championship, Neymar went down to the locker room to give a speech to all the members of the squad and promised the players that he would return to Santos in 2025.

But, according to 'Beting', Neymar's idea goes further. The Brazilian would not only want to return to play for the club of his life, he also wants to be the owner.

«The new MLS club for 2025, San Diego FC, owned by Egyptian-EnglishmanSir Mohamed Mansour and Padres baseball player Manny Machado, is thinking about this combination: Hugo Sanchez as coach and Guillermo Ochoa as the first captain,» the journalist wrote on social media.
