The arrival of Lionel Messi in the MLS has been a boon for Inter Miami, both on and off the field. The club’s attendance and merchandise sales have substantially increased, and the Argentine’s presence has helped to attract top players to the team. Now, the Herons are making headlines once again as they tease a potential move that could reunite two soccer legends from Barcelona – Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez.

As Inter Miami continues to assemble its, kind of, ‘mini Barcelona’ dream team, Suarez’s name surfaced as a possible addition to their star-studded lineup recently. Let’s delve deeper and know if the Uruguayan striker will join his closest friend Lionel Messi in the MLS.

Suarez’s former teammate hopes to link up with him at Inter Miami

The prospect of Luis Suarez donning the Inter Miami jersey has set fans abuzz. The topic was a hot one, as Inter Miami prepares for their closing match of the 2023 MLS season. However, the potential transfer speculation got even more intriguing, when Suarez’s former Barcelona teammate and Inter Miami fullback Jordi Alba expressed his hopes with the potential transfer.

“I wish he could come; I have always said that I want to play with the best, and for me, Luis is a great player. I have been lucky to share many moments with him both on and off the field; he is a great friend of mine, and I would love for him to come, but it is not a decision that I can make. I hope that he can come, and it will surely help us a lot,” Alba stated.

Luis Suarez is currently plying his trade with Brazilian club Gremio, where he has netted 18 goals and contributed 13 assists in 43 matches for the Brazilian side. Although the former Blaugrana striker has a contract till June 2024 with Gremio, it was reported that Suarez has asked to end his contract in December, as he aims to play elsewhere. Gremio is willing to consider his plea, and planning to release him from his contract early, making the dream of a Messi-Suarez reunion all the more plausible for the fans.
