Luis Suarez Set to Leave Gremio for Inter Miami, Reuniting with Former Barcelona Teammates
Suarez slated to join Inter Miami next season, following Messi, Alba, and Busquets; move strengthens former Barcelona quartet's efforts toward MLS success.
- Luis Suarez, currently playing for Gremio in Brazil, is set to join Inter Miami in the Major League Soccer next season, reuniting with former Barcelona teammates Lionel Messi, Jordi Alba, and Sergio Busquets. All four champions played in Barcelona's 3-1 win over Juventus in the 2015 UEFA Champions League final.
- Suarez has had a prolific career, scoring 147 goals in 191 games for Barcelona, 81 goals in 110 games for Ajax, and 69 goals in 110 games for Liverpool. He's also Uruguay's all-time leading goal-scorer with 68 in 137 appearances and has represented his country at four World Cups.
- The transfer of Suarez to Inter Miami comes amidst the club's ongoing collaboration with Messi to build a successful team. Previously, Messi's arrival prompted Alba and Busquets to join the Miami outfit which ultimately led to their success in the Leagues Cup and reaching the final of the U.S. Open Cup.
- Suarez is expected to leave Gremio for Miami when the Brazilian season ends in December, as per reports. This shift marks a step in Suarez's career as he previously returned to his boyhood club, Nacional of Montevideo, in 2022 before moving to Gremio later that year.
- The addition of Suarez is not just a strategic move for Miami but continues the club's plan for a Barcelona reunion, as the four Barcelona teammates were a crucial part of Barcelona's victory in the UEFA Champions League final in 2015.
