Currently, the biggest revelation to come out of the transfer market is that Inter Miami is mounting a serious challenge to sign Suarez. David Beckham’s side wants to get their hands on the former Liverpool and FC Barcelona forward at all costs.
Moreover, the Argentinian club River Plate is also interested to sign him, but they don’t hold the financial might that Miami has. However, Suarez has a connection with the South American club and it might hold some romantic value for the striker.
According to a report from ESPN, a new club has entered the fray. Serie A club Atalanta is interested in taking the superstar on their books. Moreover, Suarez would prefer to stay in Europe and might prefer a move to Italy rather than the USA or Argentina.
