Luis Suarez was last seen with Gremio in Brazil, where he had a prolific season. He joined the Herons as a free agent in December on a one-year deal with the option to extend it further. Recently, Spanish journalist Nahuel Beau, in an exclusive interview with EssentiallySports, shed light on the potential impact of Luis Suarez reuniting with Lionel Messi, Alba, and Busquets at Inter Miami. Beau emphasized that the combination of these players makes Miami a formidable force in the upcoming season.
“They are players who until not long ago were the best in the world in their positions, they also know each other very well and are familiar with winning. In my opinion, with them, Inter Miami is going to be a sure favorite to win all the titles. Because, if there is something that Luis Suarez shows is that competitiveness always,” remarked Beau.
Suarez’s stellar performance with Gremio last season speaks for itself. The striker amassed 26 goals and 17 assists in 53 matches across all competitions for the Brazilian club. These stats prove that the former Barcelona ace still has a lot to offer on the pitch, making him a big concern for the opposition defenders.
Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi have lifted 13 titles at Barcelona, during their time together at the club, and the Miami fans will be hoping to see the duo emulate their success once again in America.
