Meet Luis Suarez’s ‘Footballer’ Brothers- Paolo, Maximiliano & Diego, Taking a Quick Glance at His ‘Less-Popular’ Siblings

At the age of 7, Inter Miami’s Luis Suarez perfected his soccer skills on the streets of Montevideo, Uruguay, playing with his brothers Paolo, Maximiliano, and Diego. Three of the erstwhile street soccer stars would later venture into a professional soccer career. While Luis had storied stints in different iconic clubs such as Ajax, Liverpool, FC Barcelona, and Atletico Madrid, the three failed to mirror their brother’s success, falling short of representing big European clubs. Let’s find out how their soccer careers have panned out.

Notably, Suarez’s elder brother, Paolo, played for a few clubs in Uruguay, Guatemala, and El Salvador before retiring in 2018. Maximiliano, younger than the Inter Miami star by a year, hung his boots in 2016, whereas the story of Diego is also not so different. Here’s a detailed look into their careers.

Inside Luis Suarez’s brothers, Paolo and Maximiliano’s soccer careers

Paolo Suarez kick-started his soccer career as a 16-year-old, playing for Uruguay’s second amateur division club Basanez. Paolo would later spend much of his successful years in the Guatemalan club, Comunicaciones, on a loan move from his El Salvadorian parent club AD Isidro Metapan. He won five domestic titles with the club and scored 22 goals from 22 appearances. Luis Suarez’s elder brother retired in 2018 in El Salvador’s AD Isidro Metapan after registering 21 appearances and four goals with the club. He also played on Uruguay’s U-20 side, but never made it to the nation’s senior team.

Maximiliano Suarez did not have as long a soccer career as Paolo and Luis Suarez. He played for Uruguay’s lower division clubs, Huracan and Central Espanol. He donned Huracan’s colors on three occasions, without scoring a goal. Meanwhile, he played for Central Espanol only in one match and failed to find the net. Similar to the Inter Miami striker, both his brothers were deployed as center-forwards.

The youngest of the Suarez brothers, Diego, had a similar career as Maximiliano. He also played for Uruguayan clubs and hung his boots in 2017. Since they failed to attract the spotlight, fans have once jokingly claimed that Luis Suarez is a brother of the Property Brothers show hosts Jonathan and Drew Scott.

Suarez’s uncanny resemblance to Canadian show hosts was once a big internet joke

During the 2018 FIFA World Cup, fans noticed how similar Luis Suarez and Property Brothers hosts and twin brothers Jonathan and Drew Scott looked. Many of them claimed that Suarez was the fourth and missing brother of Jonathan and Drew Scott. Besides, fans even edited and added the Uruguayan striker’s image to a picture of the three Scott brothers. This became an internet superhit after Jonathan Scott himself tweeted the picture on his feed. “Hold up … I think everybody may be right,” Jonathan Scott captioned his tweet.

Though the Suarez brothers have no link to the Scott brothers, they all share a similarity. It is their passion and profession that has united these brothers. If real estate kept the Scott brothers going, soccer united Luis, Paolo, and Maximiliano in the Suarez household. What are your thoughts on the Suarez brothers? Tell us in the comments.
