While the deal seemed closed, Lionel Messi could ultimately not be joined by his great friend Luis Suarez at Inter Miami.
Will Inter Miami soon welcome another former Barça player to please Lionel Messi? Since the eight-time Argentine Ballon d’Or left PSG and landed in Florida this summer, the Major League Soccer franchise has surrounded him with two ex-Blaugranas, two friends of his: Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba. A recruitment policy that David Beckham, the owner of the American club, would very much like to continue by enlisting Luis Suarez, another close friend of “La Pulga”.
Thus, ESPN recently announced that the affair was on very good track, even to the point that an agreement would have been reached with the Uruguayan striker (36 years old), under contract until December 31 with Grêmio and therefore potentially free to sign up with the team of his choice this winter. But according to Brazilian journalist Jeremias Wernek, the situation has changed and the chances of seeing “El Pistolero” extended for another season with Porto Alegre are real.
If seeing him sign in MLS remains according to him ” a possibility “, Luis Suarez would not feel so bad in the Brazilian championship, where he has regained all his effectiveness with 14 goals and 10 assists in 29 Serie A matches this season. For Inter Miami, which will undoubtedly lose its No. 9 Josef Martinez, such a scenario would be a big blow. For Lionel Messi too. During their six years together at Barcelona, ​​they won four La Liga titles and the Champions League.
