For years, FC Barcelona enjoyed the strength and rapport of two of the best players in the team's history: Leo Messi and Luis Suárez. Four years after that duo went their own separate ways, both will play together again in Major League Soccer (MLS).
Inter Miami has officially announced the signing of the 36-year-old Uruguayan forward, who will once again team up with, in addition to Messi, Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets, both also former FC Barcelona players. After finishing his contract with the Gremio of the Brazilian league, where he scored 26 goals and recorded 17 assists in 53 games, he embarks on a new professional adventure, this time in American soccer.

After the confirmation of his signing, the new Inter Miami player dedicated his first words to the fans:
I’m very happy and excited to take on this new challenge with Inter Miami. I can’t wait to get started, and I’m ready to work to make the dream of winning more titles with this great Club a reality. I’m optimistic about what we can achieve together with our shared ambition. I will give my all to bring joy to these great fans I’ve heard so much about while I wear Inter Miami colors, and look forward to reuniting with great friends and players. I’m also eager to meet my new teammates and coaches.
FC Barcelona and Gremio are not the only teams that Suárez has played for. He has also donned the kits of Nacional (Uruguay), Groningen and Ajax (Netherlands), Liverpool (England) and Atlético de Madrid (Spain).
