Luis Suarez’s possible move to MLS has been discussed on several occasions. The former FC Barcelona player wanted to end his time in Europe and returned to his native country after leaving Atletico Madrid.
He is no longer in his prime
But one of the possibilities that were on the table was to make the leap of continent and land in the United States. At 35, the competitive rhythm he was used to in Europe is over for him and his physique is no longer up to it. But he would like to try the MLS before his retirement.
After scoring 8 goals in 16 games for Nacional de Montevideo, a Brazilian team was interested in his services. This was Gremio of Porto Alegre, who tried every way to convince the Uruguayan to play for their team, but the president confessed what Suarez’s real plans were.
“His plan is to play in MLS.”
“We made a proposal, which was already rejected. Suarez thanked him because it was a serious offer, but his plan is to play in MLS. Our proposal was above the ones he has from MLS, but he has a life project,” said Alberto Guerra, a representative of the institution.
Three options in the United States
With these words, it is clear that Luis Suarez will end up playing for a Major League Soccer team in 2023. Franchises such as Los Angeles Galaxy, Los Angeles FC, and Inter Miami were already mentioned a few months ago, and it seems clear that one of these three teams will be lucky enough to enjoy him. Suarez already has his future decided, but now his head is fully focused on the World Cup.
