Several FC Barcelona legends have left behind a trail of ecstatic memories and whispers of moments long past. Though the pages of the calendar have turned and those glory days now serve as mere recollections, the old guard of Catalonia is beginning to reunify in the MLS.
After Lionel Messi decided to take his talents to Inter Miami, Sergio Busquets, and Jordi Alba also followed suit, finding a rustic retreat in America with the intention of concluding their careers away from the spotlight. The old band from Barcelona is starting to regroup as they approach the closing act of their careers.
According to Spanish outlet Mundo Deportivo, the aforementioned FC Barcelona legends are not the only players interested in playing for Inter Miami, as Luis Suarez also aspires to reunite with his old teammates.
The 36 year old Uruguayan forward is planning to leave Brazilian Série A club Grêmio and is reportedly determined to sign with David Beckham’s Inter Miami this summer and is making every effort to do so.
Even though there had been rumors of a potential withdrawal due to knee osteoarthritis, it appears that he is still willing to prolong his football career. The idea of playing alongside his friends has likely swayed Luisito’s opinion.
Although contractual obligations tie him down to Gremio, the Uruguayan might pay a fee to end his current contract and return the entire money he has earned at Gremio since January. He is associated with the Brazilians until December 31, 2024, but looks eager to jump ship prematurely.
The possibility of Miami obtaining Suarez is certainly not a far fetch. Considering Gremio coach Renato Gaucho benched the Uruguayan in his most recent game against Atlético Mineiro, everything points to the player and the club’s agreement being finalized.
