Inter Miami have agreed a deal to sign Luis Suarez, according to ESPN.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Suarez, 36, is currently playing for Gremio and will sign a one-year deal with an option for a second.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
The deal means he will reunite will ex-Barcelona teammates\u00a0Lionel Messi, Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba in MLS.<\/p>\n
As noted by ESPN, Gremio manager\u00a0Renato Gaucho confirmed last month that the striker would leave the Brazilian club in December – at the conclusion of the Brazilian Serie A season.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Suarez had also previously acknowledged that the MLS side contacted his club in the middle of the year.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Since joining Brazilian side Gremio in 2022, Luis Suarez has scored 17 goals in 37 appearances<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Suarez will be reunited with Messi, Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets at MLS side Inter Miami<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Lionel Messi joined Inter Miami in 2023, helping the Herons win the Leagues Cup<\/p>\n
He signed a two-year contract with Gremio in December 2022, which now looks set to end early.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the Herons also released forward Josef Martinez at the end of MLS’ regular season.<\/p>\n
The striker started 20 games for Miami up front, with Suarez now set to reprise his former attacking role alongside Messi.<\/p>\n
The pair spent six seasons together at Barcelona from 2014-20, as La Blaugrana won four league titles and one Champions League in that span.<\/p>\n
Suarez racked up a ridiculous 146 goals in La Liga in just 191 games for Barca, and his numbers in Brazil haven’t been bad either.<\/p>\n
Since joining Gremio last year, the Uruguayan has scored 17 goals in 37 appearances.<\/p>\n
Messi, Busquets and Alba helped lead Miami to its first trophy in the Leagues Cup after arriving, but the team – which was last in MLS when the trio joined – ultimately failed to make the postseason.\u00a0<\/p>\n
