The news has been circulating for quite some time that Luis Suárez will once again join forces with Lionel Messi at Inter Miami. The news has been reported by the Spanish media. If this news is true, then in the upcoming season, we will see Messi and Suárez playing football together in the United States.
Last month, Suárez’s current club, Gremio, confirmed that he would leave the club at the end of the current Brazilian Serie A season, as stated by their current coach Renato Gaúcho. Although there is still some time left on Suárez’s two-year contract with the Uruguayan star, it seems that he is set to part ways with the club.
Last December, Suárez signed a two-year contract with Gremio, but according to the news from Spain, he will have the opportunity to extend it for another year with Inter Miami after his one-year contract with Messi’s Miami team. In addition to Messi, Suarez will also reunite with former Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge in Miami.
Before this, Messi and Suárez formed a fantastic partnership at Barcelona. During their time at the club from 2014 to 2020, Messi and Suárez won four La Liga titles and one UEFA Champions League trophy. Their friendship extended beyond the field, and they often traveled together with their families and spent holidays together. So, it’s not surprising that Suárez was rumored to be considering a move to Miami when Messi joined the team.
In June, Suárez himself dismissed rumors of moving to Miami, saying, “It’s impossible. I’m very happy at Gremio. I have a contract here until the end of 2024.”
Then in July, he mentioned in an interview, “We dream of retiring together. When we were at Barcelona, we had plans to do that (retire together). Then I went to Atlético, he went to PSG. At that time, we were planning to go to the United States together, but it didn’t happen.” Last month, Inter Miami coach Gerard Martino also confirmed his interest in Suárez.
Suárez, one of Uruguay’s greatest footballers, has scored 68 goals in 137 international matches for the national team. He was Gremio’s top scorer this season with 10 goals in 31 matches and provided 10 assists as well.
