Racking up 17 goals in the league, Suárez helped lead the club to a second-place finish in Brazil’s Serie A, winning the Golden Ball, which is awarded to the division’s best player.
Now with Inter Miami, Suárez inked a one-year deal with the Messi-led franchise, taking him through the close of the 2024 campaign.
Ending the two-year contract he had with Grêmio, Suárez’s transfer to Miami reunited him with not just Messi, but other former Barcelona teammates Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba. Spending six seasons (2014-2020) together at the Spanish club, the quartet won four LaLiga championships and one Champions League title.

Oh man, the glory is so real! This news really had me blasting “Gloria” (which is Spanish for glory).
God bless Jorge Mas and David Beckham! (Inter Miami co-owners)
They said they were going to bring a dominant team to South Florida, and hot dammit, they did. They literally re-created a Champions League-winning Barcelona squad.
