Lionel Messi has caused quite a stir with his move to MLS, specifically joining Inter Miami. Alongside the Argentine, two former Barcelona aces, Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets, have also joined, with a third, Luis Suarez, rumored to be on his way.
Suarez, currently playing for Gremio, recently scored a hat-trick in just 19 minutes in their victory against Botafogo. However, the Uruguayan won’t be representing the Brazilian club for much longer, as announced by Gremio’s coach Renato Gaucho. According to Gaucho, the seasoned striker will try his luck in a new environment by the end of 2023.
Suarez expressed concerns about the pace and physical demands of the Brazilian Serie A, which have taken a toll on his knees. It’s worth noting that the experienced goal-scorer has undergone knee surgeries during his career.
In response to these concerns, at the request of the new Inter Miami coach, Gerard Tate Martin, Messi reached out to his former teammate Suarez to persuade him to try his luck in the MLS.
Reportedly, David Beckham, the club’s owner, is also involved in the whole situation and is excited about the prospect of having Luis Suarez in his team.
Despite being in the twilight of his career, the Uruguayan football legend is the top scorer for Gremio this season with 10 goals and an equal number of assists.
As a result, Inter Miami is set to receive a significant boost for the upcoming season with the addition of Suarez. Alongside Suarez, the name of Ivan Rakitic is also being mentioned as a potential reinforcement after the conclusion of La Liga and all European competitions.
