Old MSN friends meet again: Miami brings in old maestro Messi to score passes for goals – Soccernet.ee

According to The Athletic portal, Miami’s Inter, who were already hunting for Luis Suarez’s signature in the summer but had lost it due to Gremio’s opposition, have finally reached an agreement with the Uruguayan, which it means Suarez will link up with Lionel Messi again in the new year.

In addition to Messi, Suarez, former Barcelona players Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba, with whom he won the Champions League four times between 2014-20 and the Spanish title, are waiting in Miami. Suarez, who turns 37 in January, played 138 games and scored 68 goals for Uruguay. After leaving Barcelona, ​​he played for Atletico Madrid for two years, then returned to his homeland to join Nacional and from there, in January, to Gremio in Brazil.

However, Inter will have to understand how to fit Suarez’s transfer into the above-average MLS regulatory framework. For example, each team can have three men whose income does not fall below the salary limit. Last season it was Messi, Busquets and Brazilian midfielder Gregore, so a separate agreement should be reached with the latter.

The final team lists must be submitted to the league only by the Friday before the start of the season. The start date of the new season has not yet been set, but this year, for example, it started on February 25th. The rules can still change, we will talk about it this winter.

However, there is already a place for Suarez in the attacking line, because playoff– Inter, absent, let Josef Martinez go. This means that currently their offensive leader is Ecuadorian international Leo Campana, who has scored nine league goals. Martinez managed to score seven times.

Suarez recorded 52 games, 24 goals and 17 assists for Gremio. He has had knee problems, which means that he probably won’t be able to play all the matches for United, who in addition to the championship also play in several cups. “To tell the truth, the first steps in the morning are always scary,” the Uruguayan recently admitted on the national radio program 100% Deporte. “Whoever sees me probably can’t imagine how I play. My son asks me to play football with him, but I can’t. The cartilage in my knee is worn out and rubs against the bone, sometimes the knee even locks up. But first of the match I take the pills and give an injection,” Suarez described.

He confirmed that he wants to play with Messi once again before the imminent end of his career. “I have earned the right to decide where I will continue. Even the children have not been able to spend enough time with me lately,” he added.

Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez played only 258 games together, but in those games Barcelona scored more than 400 goals. 🔥
