Luis Suarez to Join Inter Miami on One-Year Deal

The Uruguayan forward, battling chronic knee issues, reunites with former Barcelona teammates.

Inter Miami is finalizing a one-year contract with Uruguayan forward Luis Suarez, who will join former Barcelona teammates Lionel Messi, Sergio Busquets, and Jordi Alba.
Suarez, who is turning 37 in January, played with Brazilian team Gremio last season, contributing 24 goals and 17 assists in 52 games.
Suarez has been battling chronic knee issues and recently told Uruguayan radio station 890 Sport that he takes pills and injections to manage the pain.
Major League Soccer clubs are permitted up to three designated players (DPs) whose salaries exceed the team’s salary cap. Last year, Inter-Miami had the maximum number of DPs allowed: Messi, Busquets, and Gregore. Miami could buy down Gregore to free up a slot for Suarez.
Suarez has been suspended a combined 17 games of play for different biting incidents, also going unpunished for a chomp in 2014.
