Inter Miami have had extensive talks with Luis Suarez, who would make a phenomenal addition to the club and Major League Soccer.
When both were in Barcelona, Suarez and Lionel Messi’s families became good friends. They formed a legendary attacking force with Neymar, the Brazilian striker, and won the UEFA Champions League together.
TyC Sports’ Argentina correspondent Gaston Edul has previously reported that Suarez and the Heron have been in negotiations for months and have made progress. He just revealed a huge development.
Decisive next week?
“Inter Miami has made progress in talks with Luis Suarez and news is expected next week,” Edul announced on Twitter on Saturday. According to a previous ESPN report, Tata Martino’s side are aiming for an agreement with the Gremio forward while also negotiating an exit price with the Brazilian team.
This Friday, Gremio manager Renato Portaluppi confirmed that the forward has shown interest in playing in Major League Soccer but that the club are reluctant to let him go.
“Suarez is now an issue that is in the hands of the President. They exchange ideas. As a coach I have to focus on leading the team. It appears to be a Mexican soap opera that should end now. I’ll be silent until August 2nd, then we’ll see how it goes,” he told the media.
“Obviously we want Suarez to stay. I can’t vouch for him. I know what he thinks and what the club thinks. At the moment he has spoken to the board and the president.”
Suarez could give up on his retirement plans
Suarez’s contract at Gremio has 18 months left and he has already scored 13 goals there. There were rumors last month that the 36-year-old’s knee problems would eventually push him into retirement.
Still, things seem to have changed lately. Knowing that Uruguayan veteran Lionel Messi, Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba all played together at Barcelona, the chances of a potential reunion are very high.
It has been speculated for some time that David Beckham’s franchise would like to reunite the members of the amazing team that won the treble with the Blaugrana in 2015. However, few predicted that this would happen within a few weeks and at the same time.
