Luis Suarez Could Face Lionel Messi Just Before Joining Inter Miami on 1-Year Deal: Here’s How

Inter Miami seems hellbent on reuniting Lionel Messi with his former teammates. The side did an excellent job securing the services of Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba last season. However, the team isn’t stopping at two and has a plan set in motion to sign Messi’s former strike partner, Luis Suarez. However, before El Pistolero signs for Miami, he might have to prove his worth when he goes up against La Pulga later this month.

Inter Miami is in pole position to secure the services of Luis Suarez for the coming season. They have reported that the two sides plan to agree on a one-year deal for the player. The David Beckham-owned franchise is parting ways with striker Josef Martinez, opening a door for Suarez’s inclusion. But before that, they have a duel in place!

Luis Suarez likely to square up against Lionel Messi on national duty

Argentina will face Uruguay in their upcoming set of FIFA World Cup qualifiers. La Albiceleste has done an exceptional job so far, winning all four of their games. Uruguay, meanwhile, has struggled, finding seven points from four games. A win over Argentina could be an enormous boost for Uruguay, and the team could call in their former talisman for the battle.

Based on rumors circulating across media outlets, Uruguay’s manager Marcelo Bielsa has reintroduced Luis Suarez and Edinson Cavani back into his team. With Uruguay failing to find the needed results, it seems like Bielsa is running out of options. Messi and Suarez could cross paths in the coming encounter if Bielsa plays the veteran striker.

While their reunion might be short-lived, Inter Miami could make this a regular thing. The MLS side is reportedly interested in a deal for the former Barcelona man and wants to confirm for the next season.

Inter Miami is keen on securing the services of former Barcelona striker

Inter Miami’s plan to rope in Lionel Messi has been a masterstroke by the club. La Pulga had a flying start for the team, bagging the Leagues Cup title in his first attempt. However, Miami’s campaign crumbled as Lionel Messi took an injury blow in the closing stages of the campaign. Beckham’s side failed to keep the momentum in Messi’s absence for the remaining campaign as they crashed out of the MLS.

Inter Miami is now trying to ensure they do not see a repeat of last season. The team has already decided to part ways with Josef Martinez, with manager Tata Martino confirming his absence for the upcoming season.

With Martinez out of the side, the team is now looking for a replacement. Inter Miami is reportedly interested in securing a one-year deal with Luis Suarez for the upcoming campaign. The Uruguayan striker was a part of FC Barcelona’s prized trio alongside Messi and Neymar as they took the opposition to the cleaners.

It could be a massive signing for Miami as they hope to field the top names from Barcelona’s glory days. Fans will be eager to see La Pulga, and his trusty El Pistolero can cast the same magic. Whatever the case, this is surely a reunion for the ages!
