Luis Suarez has signed a contract extension with Inter Miami, ensuring he will continue playing alongside Lionel Messi for at least one more year. The team announced the agreement on Wednesday, although the financial details were not disclosed. Suarez had a successful first season with Inter Miami, scoring 20 goals in Major League Soccer regular season play and a total of 25 goals across all competitions, tying with Messi for the team lead.
Expressing his excitement about the extension, Suarez stated, “I’m very happy, very excited to continue for another year and to be able to enjoy being here with this fanbase, which for us is like family. We feel very, very connected with them, and hopefully, next year, we can bring them even more joy.” Inter Miami had a record-breaking season, setting MLS records for points and winning percentage, but unfortunately fell short in the playoffs.
The extension of Suarez’s contract, who will soon turn 38, keeps the core of Inter Miami’s stars with ties to Barcelona intact. Alongside Messi, Suarez plays with Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba, forming a strong group that previously played together at Barcelona. The recent appointment of Javier Mascherano as the new coach further solidifies the Barcelona connection within the team.
Inter Miami’s president of football operations, Raul Sanllehi, praised Suarez for his impact on the team, highlighting his leadership and performance on the field. Suarez, a seasoned player who has represented Uruguay in multiple World Cup competitions and played for various top clubs, brings a wealth of experience and accolades to Inter Miami.
Looking ahead to the next season, fans can expect to see Suarez continue his impressive form and contribute to the team’s success on the field. As one of the greatest strikers of all time, Suarez’s presence in the squad bodes well for Inter Miami’s future aspirations in Major League Soccer. With a strong core of talented players and a new coach at the helm, the team is poised for another exciting season in 2025.
