Luis Suárez will play for Inter Miami in the 2024 season and will meet again on the playing field with his friend Lionel Messi. What had been an open secret for several weeks was finally made official by the Major League Soccer (MLS) club.
“I feel very happy and excited to take on this new challenge with Inter Miami. “I am ready to work and make the dream of winning more titles with this great club come true,” said the Uruguayan, who has just had a great season with Grêmio, a team with which he finished runner-up in the last Brasileirão.

The 36-year-old striker will thus be reunited with Messi, with whom he shared a striker between 2014 and 2020, in addition to other former FC Barcelona teammates such as Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba. Therefore, to announce the signing, Inter Miami published a photo of four children with their backs turned and wearing the team’s pink uniform with the names of Suárez, Messi, Alba and Busquets.
In other posts on social networks you can already see El Pistolero wearing the colors of his new team, inside and outside the stadium. Suárez looked for a destination with a less loaded calendar due to his chronic pain in his right knee, a physical problem that still did not prevent him from adding 17 goals and 11 assists in the last season with the Tricolor Gaúcho.

The team led by Tata Martino will begin next year with a series of international friendlies that will take them to El Salvador, Japan and Saudi Arabia, in what could be the first opportunity to see the Uruguayan with his new team.
The first official match of the 2024 MLS season for Inter Miami will be on February 21 at home against Real Salt Lake, according to the official calendar, which establishes that the Leagues Cup will begin on July 26.
