Lionel Messi"s new club was trying to hire Suárez as of now, but the negotiations did not improve as Grêmio asked for a high value in order to release the Uruguayan.
It"s reported that Suárez was also trying to make it happen, which caused some arguments with the Brazilian team"s board. It was also said that the Uruguayan was thinking about retiring due to pain in his knee and the high number of games in Brazil would be one of the reasons.
