Luis Suarez never shies away from the fact that he adores Lionel Messi. Despite only playing together for six years, Messi found a very loyal friend in Luis Suarez and even protested when the Uruguayan was forced out of Barcelona in 2020 to join Atletico Madrid on a free transfer.
Since then, both players haven’t had the chance to play together, and all hope seemed lost until Messi joined Inter Miami and requested to have Luis Suarez with him. Six months after their first attempt to bring the pair together, the two good friends now look set for a reunion as Suarez bade farewell to Gremio supporters on his last game for the Brazilian club.
Luis Suarez bids farewell to Gremio supporters
Inter Miami seems like the likeliest destination for Luis Suarez as the former Liverpool talisman ended his stint at Gremio on a high note. Suarez, who recently got a recall to the Uruguayan national team in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, scored the only goal of the game against Vasco da Gama to bring down the curtains on his brief spell in Brazil.
After a move to Inter Miami fell through a few months ago, Suarez quickly picked himself up and got on the good side of the Gremio supporters. Suarez’ decision to try to force a move initially got him in the bad books of the supporters, but a run of form, which saw him score vital goals for the Brazilian side, earned him back the trust of the fans.
Suarez scored another one to help Gremio seal automatic qualification for next season’s Copa Libertadores. The win over Vasco da Gama was Gremio’s third in five games, which put them just one point behind third-placed Flamengo and four behind league leaders Palmeiras, who have been confirmed the champions of the Brasileirão Série A, thanks to Endrick’s goal, who now looks ready for his imminent move to Real Madrid.
Lionel Messi awaits to reunite with Luis Suarez
With his Gremio career over, Luis Suarez is now set to reunite with his friend at Inter Miami to help the side achieve their MLS aspirations next season. One thing is always certain about Suarez, he offers goals to any side he plays in, and that’s what Inter Miami will get.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Suarez is just fine-tuning the finer details of his contract with Inter Miami, and it’s only a matter of time before a deal is announced to the public.
This will make Lionel Messi’s decision to stay at Inter Miami despite getting a temporary loan offer to play for Barcelona one last time the right one. The World Cup winner even penned an emotional end-of-the-season statement to Inter Miami fans to reassure them of his commitment to the MLS franchise.
Can Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi lead Inter Miami to the MLS playoffs next season? What magic will the iconic duo conjure in the coming year?
