Inter Miami FC has added another former Barcelona star to their roster. The MLS side announced on Friday that they have signed Uruguayan striker Luis Suarez to a one-year deal with an option for the 2025 season.
In Miami, Suarez will be welcomed by former Barca teammates Lionel Messi, Sergio Busquets, and Jordi Alba.
Suarez has been linked with a move to Inter Miami since the summer. However, his then-club Gremio didn’t want to sanction the 36-year-old’s departure at the time and only agreed to release him from his contract once the 2023 season in Brazil’s Série A wrapped up in early December.
Despite entering the twilight years of his career, Suarez has been in great form with Gremio. He scored 29 goals in 54 games played in all competitions this year and helped the club finish runners-up while winning the Best Player award.
Inter Miami didn’t disclose what type of contract Suarez signed. The club has all of their Designated Player spots filled with Messi, Busquets, and Gregore but could possibly strike a deal with the latter to free up the DP slot for Suarez.
“I will give my all to bring joy to these great fans I’ve heard so much about while I wear Inter Miami colors, and look forward to reuniting with great friends and players. I’m also eager to meet my new teammates and coaches, “said Suarez in a statement released by Inter Miami.
