Uruguayan legend Luis Suarez has completed a move to Major League Soccer side — Inter Miami, as a free agent, having left Gremio after his contract expiration.
Suarez signs a contract that’ll see him ply his trade at the MLS throughout 2024, where he’ll be reuniting with his friends and ex-Barcelona teammates: Lionel Messi, Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba — who all share four La Liga titles and a Champions League trophy between 2014-2020.
Inter Miami captured the striker’s signature after he was recently named the Best Player and Best Striker in the Brazilian league, an accolade he won after scoring 26 goals and notching up 17 assists in over 53 appearances as Gremio won the Campeonato Gaúcho and Recopa Gaúcha.

“I’m very happy and excited to take on this new challenge with Inter Miami,” the 36-year-old said in a statement. “I can’t wait to get started, and I’m ready to work to make the dream of winning more titles with this great club a reality. I’m optimistic about what we can achieve together with our shared ambition.
“I will give my all to bring joy to these great fans I’ve heard so much about while I wear Inter Miami colours, and look forward to reuniting with great friends and players. I’m also eager to meet my new team-mates and coaches.”
Dubbed one of the deadliest striker in this generation, Luis Suarez has won a handful of trophies across Europe’s elite leagues, including a Copa America and UEFA Champions League trophy, FIFA Club World Cup, five LaLiga titles, one Eredivisie, four Copa del Rey, one EFL Cup, one KNVB Cup, two Uruguayan Primera División, one Campeonato Gaúcho, one UEFA Super Cup, and two Supercopa de España titles.
Suarez has also scored over 500 goals for both club and country ever since he started playing professionally back in 2005.
