<p>Brazil and Barcelona star Neymar is visiting the United States of A, but it's not to play in the Copa America <span>Centenario</span>. So what is he there for? Well, here's all the dope about his US trip...</p>
<p>While Neymar Jr is not in the US to play soccer, he has been still very busy off late. So what has the little genius been up to?</p>
<p>Well, after winning the double with FC Barcelona (they won both the La Liga and the Copa del Rey this season)and before joining the Brazilian Olympic squad in Rio, the 24-year-old striker is touring the US in what seems is a bid to strengthen his brand.</p>
<p>Neymar has met and is working with 'His Airness' Michael Jordan on a new model of football shoes. In this he has become the first footballer to team up with Jordan on a footwear line -- which is a huge deal (financially and otherwise).</p>
